What LPS does

LPS Corp is a privately held authorized dealer and service provider of food processing equipment, supplies, and related services, headquartered at 2308 N. 17th Ave., Franklin Park, Illinois. Founded in 2005 by Luigi Pintore—an owner/operator with 35 years of industry experience across Europe and the United States—the company serves meat and food processors, grocery store meat departments, independent butcher shops and meat markets, and restaurants and food service establishments in the Chicagoland area.

LPS operates as a multi-brand authorized dealer for 15+ equipment manufacturers including Biro (meat saws, grinder/mixers, slicers, vacuum tumblers, patty formers), Risco (sausage stuffers and grinders with patented long-life product pumps), Maja (de-rinding, membrane-skinning, and flake-ice machinery), Ross (tenderizers), Yamato (digital scales and checkweighers, 400+ patents), Treif (Lion Bacon, Argon, Zebra), Promarks (vacuum packaging), Hickory (rotisseries), Italmodular (cold storage systems), Talsa (hydraulic fillers), Butcher Boy, Palazzolo (cheese processing), Patty-O-Matic, and CAS Scales. Service and repair is offered both for LPS-sold equipment and for most other major brands including Bizerba slicers, BKI rotisseries, Hobart scales, and Manconi deli slicers.

The company generates revenue across four streams: new equipment sales through authorized dealer relationships, rebuilt/refurbished equipment at reduced prices, equipment service and repair, and expendable supplies including 40+ seasoning varieties, 20+ marinade varieties, Sweden-made saw blades (branded LPS), vacuum pouches in 3/4/5 mil thicknesses ($55-$160 per case, minimum 15-case orders), patty paper, and customizable labels. Distribution runs through a Franklin Park warehouse and showroom, plus phone (847-451-2222), fax, and email inside sales. Pricing is unit-based for supplies and quote-based for equipment. The company offers bilingual support (Italian and Spanish) as a customer-facing differentiator within the Chicagoland market.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Restaurant Depot: Membership-based wholesale foodservice distributor operating hundreds of locations across the US, selling equipment, supplies, and food to restaurant and food processor customers. Competes with LPS for the same procurement budget in the Chicagoland area.
• Hatco Corporation: Foodservice equipment manufacturer specializing in holding, warming, and cooking equipment sold through dealer networks. Like Vollrath, comparable as an upstream manufacturer partner brand that LPS's competitors also distribute.
• Webstaurant Store: One of the largest online restaurant supply and foodservice equipment retailers in the US, offering equipment, supplies, and smallwares across hundreds of brands. Represents the scaled, digital-first evolution of the local dealer model that LPS competes against.
• Hubert Company: National foodservice equipment and supply distributor offering display cases, merchandising, and back-of-house equipment with a multi-brand catalog approach. Overlaps with LPS in serving food retailers and processors with equipment plus supplies.
• Vollrath Foodservice Equipment: Major US foodservice equipment manufacturer offering food preparation, cooking, holding, and serving equipment sold through dealers. Comparable to the brands LPS distributes, but operates at the manufacturer tier upstream of LPS.

Direct peers

• Katom Restaurant Supply: Restaurant and commercial foodservice equipment dealer with strong online presence and broad catalog of new and used equipment, including meat processing, weighing, and packaging. Operates with a similar dealer-and-supply model targeting foodservice operators.
• Central Restaurant Products: Mid-market foodservice equipment dealer and online retailer offering new and refurbished commercial kitchen and food processing equipment with service support. Closely comparable to LPS in product mix (slicers, grinders, scales, packaging) and target customer (small-to-mid food processors and restaurants).
• Chef's Deal Restaurant Equipment: Restaurant equipment dealer offering new and refurbished commercial kitchen equipment with design, installation, and service support. Mirrors LPS's combination of equipment sales, service, and consumable supplies in a similar customer segment.

Emerging players

Others

• Bizerba USA: Global manufacturer of slicing, weighing, and food processing equipment. Comparable because LPS services Bizerba slicers, illustrating the brand ecosystem relationship and the potential for Bizerba to bypass local dealers in some accounts.
