What American Range does

American Range is a US-based commercial cooking equipment manufacturer founded in 1982 and headquartered in Pacoima, California. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hatco Corporation, a privately-held foodservice equipment manufacturer headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. American Range designs and builds its products domestically, marketing a comprehensive portfolio that includes restaurant ranges (24" to 72" configurations), Green Flame energy-efficient ranges, commercial broilers (radiant charbroilers, adjustable char, underfired, char rock, kebob, rotisserie, vertical, infrared Brazilian, and wood-fired variants), convection ovens (gas and electric, single and double deck), tube-fired fryers (countertop to 75-lb capacity with an ENERGY STAR-certified high-efficiency model), manual and thermostatic griddles (including Teppanyaki Japanese style), cheesemelters and salamanders, heavy-duty stock pot stoves (with jet burners up to 125,000 BTU/hr), and specialty equipment (kebob broilers, rotisseries with up to 65-lb capacity, and wok ranges). Underlying technologies include BJ Robertshaw combination thermostat/gas valve systems for precision temperature control, jet burner technology for high-intensity applications, and infrared burner arrays.

The company serves commercial restaurants and foodservice operations that require durable, high-BTU cooking equipment, as well as specialty operators with menu-driven needs (vertical rotisseries, kebob broilers, teppanyaki griddles). Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of physical cooking equipment with no software, subscription, or recurring service component disclosed. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; transactions route through a network of regional sales representatives in the US (West, East, Mid-West, South East, North East), with international coverage via Dorian Drake International (UK, Australia, Mexico, Central and South America) and GBS (Canada). Marketing includes downloadable catalogs, spec sheets, and brochures on the company website, an active Instagram presence (@americanrangecooking), and chef testimonials. American Range does not have a public app, public API, or AI/ML-enabled product features. The company is privately held as a subsidiary of Hatco Corporation with no publicly disclosed revenue, headcount, or ownership structure beyond the parent relationship.
