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. Mais >>>

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.

Carta do nosso novo presidente, Alexander Cozzini
Este tem sido um momento de muita humildade para mim e trouxe de volta muitas memórias, de onde comecei até onde estou hoje. É uma honra incrível para eu liderar e servir nosso incrível grupo corporativo. Ao longo de sua carreira, Ivo transformou uma pequena empresa - antes operando em seu próprio porão - em uma empresa multinacional. Um negócio admirado globalmente em uma indústria mundial substancial. Historicamente, nosso setor é muito tradicional, especializado e pouco focado na inovação. Ivo é claramente uma exceção a essa tradição. De Ergo Steels a Emulsificadores, Ivo sempre priorizou a inovação. Sua visão é evidente em todos os nossos produtos, incluindo consumíveis, equipamentos e serviços.

Embora muitos de vocês me conheçam há anos, quero compartilhar detalhes mais aprofundados de minha experiência, incluindo o que realmente me inspira e motiva. Mais >>>
