Jaccard

What Jaccard does

Jaccard Corporation is a privately held American manufacturer of commercial food processing equipment and consumer kitchen tools, founded in 1962 by Swiss Master Butcher Andre Jaccard in Buffalo, New York, and currently headquartered in Rochester, New York. The company serves three primary commercial end markets—food service operations (restaurants, delis, pizza/sandwich shops), grocery store delis, and commercial food processing facilities—alongside a consumer/home chef segment distributed via e-commerce. Jaccard's core commercial portfolio includes the VA2000 and VA4000AT automatic stacker slicers (the latter programmable up to 99 programs), Comfort Glide gravity slicers (J300G, J350G, J350GCO), rotary strip slicers (FS-19, Simplex, Simplexmatic, Sectormatic), commercial meat tenderizers (Model H, TSHY), the KT-ALP meat press/flattener, and the Fillet-O-Matic chicken breast portioner. The company manufactures the world's only NSF-approved automatic stacker slicers and holds a portfolio of registered patents covering a dishwasher-safe chain frame, liquid diversion system, patented angled carriage, SafeHands food holder, MicroEdge chemically etched blades, and vacuum marination technology.

The company's revenue model is centered on direct hardware sales through two channels: a nationwide authorized dealer network of 250+ sales and service dealers for commercial equipment, and direct e-commerce (jaccard.com) for consumer products priced from $3.45 to $121.30. Commercial equipment is sold on a quote basis, ranging from approximately $2,997 for entry-level gravity slicers to undisclosed five-figure pricing for VA-series stacker slicers. A replacement parts and accessories stream, distributed in part through a PartsTown partnership, generates recurring aftermarket revenue. The go-to-market is sales-led, emphasizing ROI calculators, lifetime warranties on smallware, and a one-stop-shop proposition spanning handheld tools to large commercial machinery.

Operationally, Jaccard runs with a small employee base (11-50) and is structured as a privately held, family-controlled corporation with no disclosed institutional investors, private equity backing, M&A activity, or external funding rounds. Manufacturing and shipping originate from Rochester, NY (F.O.B.), with a secondary mailing presence in Naples, FL. The company maintains a worldwide product footprint claim via its consumer e-commerce platform and dealer channels, and continues to invest in product development across both commercial and consumer lines.
