Grote Company is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. Founded in 1972 by Jim Grote to help bring automation to his first company, Donatos Pizza, the company has grown from one small factory to eight locations worldwide, employing more than 300 workers.
“Jim Grote invented an entire category of slice-and-apply in the food processing industry, which makes me wonder what we’ll invent next,” said Bob Grote, chief executive officer, Grote Company. “As we move into the future, based on the strong foundation Jim built along with a reputation for holding our values tight, even as we expand, the possibilities are endless. The market will keep growing—everyone needs to eat—and Grote Company will play a role in that.”
