Since its inception in 1907, Groen has developed a strong reputation for innovation and quality. Originally, the company produced high-quality copper kettles and pressure vessels designed for industrial processors. When copper was scarce during World War II, Groen developed the stainless steel-jacketed kettle which revolutionized the industry. In the 1960's, Groen introduced the tilting braising pan, followed by the industry's first combination oven designed and built in the U.S. Today, Groen offers a wide range of choices in the commercial cooking area, with products that continue to bring innovation and advancement, winning Best in Class awards year after year.
