What Prince Castle does

Prince Castle is a commercial kitchen equipment manufacturer specializing in operational efficiency solutions for the restaurant and foodservice industry. The company designs, produces, and distributes a broad portfolio of products spanning toasters (including the newly launched Toast EZ dual-lane infrared toaster and the Optimum Series of vertical contact toasters), holding bins (DHB/EHB/PHB systems with zone temperature controls), patented food slicers (Tomato Saber, Saber King, Citrus Saber, Bagel Saber), commercial timers, dispensers, grill tools, fryer accessories, and kitchen organization smallwares. Underlying technologies include proprietary infrared radiant heat toasting, zone temperature controls for extended food hold times, and patented slicing architectures developed over the company's 60+ year operating history.

The company operates through a sales-led go-to-market model: direct sales representatives conduct product demonstrations and pilot opportunities, while a global network of authorized sales and service partners handles fulfillment across the US, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Oceania. Aftersales revenue from spare parts, consumables (e.g., release sheets), and technical support over the product lifespan supplements the primary hardware sales stream. Distribution is augmented by the Marmon Link online ordering portal for parts and manuals.

Prince Castle is a privately held company headquartered in Carol Stream, Illinois, and operates as a subsidiary of Marmon Foodservice Technologies, itself a unit of Marmon Group, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. The Marmon Foodservice Technologies portfolio includes sister brands such as Silver King (refrigeration), Cornelius (beverage dispense), Display Technologies, Marmon Renew, and Sagi. Prince Castle employs between 251 and 500 people and serves primarily QSR and broader restaurant/foodservice operators seeking peak-hour throughput, labor reduction, and food quality consistency.
