John F. Martin & Sons^®, a maker of meat and cheese products for grocery stores, restaurants, and delis, including ham, bacon, deli meat and cheese, realized substantial cost savings by a simple switch of a slicing blade from an OEM blade to a replacement slicing blade from PRIMEdge.

The bacon industry, thanks to more people cooking at home and buying larger quantities, is resulting in double-digit sales, according to this National Provisioner article. To keep up with the increased demand, John F. Martin decided to expand its bacon plant in Womelsdorf, Pa. Initially, the plant was operating with only two Weber^® Slicer 702 machines. Today, the company is running a total of six Weber^® slicing machines. Plus >>>

Just over 115 years ago, in 1905, with one small suitcase each, a pushcart to sharpen knives and an abundance of courage, two cousins from a small village in Italy’s Northern Dolomites region, boarded a ship destined for America. Four weeks later, Giuseppe and Eduardo Cozzini stepped onto New York Harbor’s Ellis Island, the landing point where thousands of immigrants from every country in Europe were arriving in America, the New World, to begin new lives.

Both cousins had lived their entire lives in what is known today as the Northern Italian Alps. Back then the area was mostly comprised of small farming communities, all within the boundaries of Austria. Giuseppe and Eduardo were from the small Austrian town of Pinzolo which bordered Italy and became part of it in 1916. Both young men spoke fluent Italian and German. Also in 1905, largely due to the necessity to communicate in an already known language, the two made their way to Milwaukee where a large German speaking population had already settled. Pushing their knife sharpening cart from one butcher shop and restaurant to the next, the two soon built a knife sharpening business in Milwaukee, that was large enough to sustain one person.

Lettre de notre nouveau président, Alexander Cozzini
Cela a été pour moi une leçon d’humilité et a ramené de nombreux souvenirs à ma mémoire, de là où j’ai commencé à là où je me trouve aujourd’hui. C’est un très grand honneur pour moi de diriger et servir notre extraordinaire groupe d’entreprises. Au cours de sa vie professionnelle, Ivo a transformé une petite entreprise – qui fonctionnait autrefois dans sa propre cave – en multinationale. Une multinationale admirée de tous dans une industrie importante et de portée mondiale. Historiquement, notre industrie est très traditionnelle, spécialisée et peu axée sur l’innovation. Ivo est clairement une exception à cette tradition. Des Ergo Steels aux émulsionneurs, Ivo a toujours privilégié l’innovation. Sa vision a imprimé sa marque sur tous nos produits, y compris les consommables, les équipements et les services.

Bien que beaucoup d’entre vous me connaissent depuis des années, je souhaite en dire plus sur mon parcours et sur ce qui m’inspire et me motive véritablement. Plus >>>
