The year was 1848. James
Polk was the 11th president of the United States. Gold
was discovered in California. And Gardner S. Blodgett
built his first oven for a local Vermont tavern owner.
Things would never be the same in California ... or the
foodservice industry.
Today, the Blodgett is the leading manufacturer of commercial ovens
in the world. Restaurants, fast-food chains, hotels,
hospitals, institutions, small businesses and large
corporations alike rely on the Blodgett name. In fact,
our ovens have been in demand overseas since the late
1800s - long before global markets and international
trade became the focus of our modern world.
Despite widespread success
(or maybe because of it) Blodgett has never strayed from
its original goal. Or its roots, Blodgett is located in
Burlington, Vermont - just 1-1/2 miles from where the
company founder and namesake forged a cooking revolution
in cast iron over 150 years ago. And while the times and
foodservice needs have changed since then, our
commitment to building the best remains the same. |
