MIDD

The Middleby Corporation

A maker of commercial kitchen equipment that restaurants, hotels, and food-service companies use to cook, refrigerate, and serve food, plus automated machinery for protein and bakery processors. It began in 1888 in Chicago, founded by Joseph Middleby and John Marshall, as a maker of portable bakery ovens. Fun fact: the company once owned the famous Toastmaster brand, so its name rhymes with toast.
