Vulcan Establishes Center of Excellence

New Initiative and Upgraded Facility will Strengthen Commitment to Customers and Advance the Industry

(Baltimore, MD) October 27, 2021 — Vulcan, the leading provider of commercial cooking equipment, recently announced it is establishing a Center of Excellence to provide leadership, best practices, research, support and training in one innovative facility for the Vulcan division.

Known for quality and reliability, Vulcan is setting the stage for the future by upgrading its Baltimore facility over the next several years. The Center of Excellence will host training, end user testing and other culinary experiences when the first phase of the center opens in 2022. This initiative complements the additional Vulcan facilities located in Charlotte NC, Louisville KY and Troy OH.

Vulcan has a reputation for delivering on operational and sales excellence while fostering an aggressive customer-centric mindset. Its unique culture is important to its success and is embraced by its rep groups, dealers and end users.

“Vulcan has been the dominant cooking company dating to our origins in 1865 and we have proven that we know our way around the kitchen,” said Vulcan VP/GM Chris Stern. “This upgraded facility enables even more collaboration with our customers and strengthens Vulcan’s commitment to product development across its broad line of cooking equipment, which currently includes ranges, combi and convection ovens, fryers, griddles, charbroilers, steam equipment and heated holding products.”

The organization will build support teams at the center to include culinary, technical, sales and marketing personnel and will invest in upgrading its facility, engineering lab and test kitchen to best prepare Vulcan for long-term success.

Customers will enjoy demonstrations, try new equipment, give input on different applications and learn from experts in many different culinary-focused segments.
