Across these segments, Middleby develops and manufactures a broad line of solutions that address needs in commercial kitchens, industrial food production and premium residential cooking environments.
Commercial foodservice and equipment focus
Middleby describes itself as a worldwide manufacturer of equipment for the commercial foodservice industry.

Company communications describe full-line solutions for industrial protein, bakery and snack processors. Middleby Food Processing focuses on end-to-end systems for industrial customers, with capabilities that include equipment for preparation, cooking, chilling and related processes.
Middleby has expanded its food processing portfolio through acquisitions. For example, it acquired Oka-Spezialmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, a designer and manufacturer of industrial extrusion, molding, depositing and cutting equipment for bakery, confectionery and pet-food markets, and Frigomeccanica S.p.A, which provides equipment for drying, defrosting, fermentation, refrigeration and preservation used in the food processing industry.

Following closing, the Residential Kitchen business will operate as a standalone joint venture in which Middleby will retain a 49% non-controlling interest. The company has stated that, as a result of this transaction and a previously announced plan to spin off its Food Processing business, Middleby is transforming into a pure-play commercial foodservice company while continuing to participate in the Residential Kitchen joint venture’s potential through its minority interest.
Planned spin-off of food processing business

This includes the planned spin-off of the food processing business, the sale of a controlling interest in the Residential Kitchen business and share repurchase activity.
