What Royal Range does

Royal Range of California Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of heavy-duty commercial cooking equipment, operating from a 52,000 square foot facility in Eastvale, California where all R&D is conducted on-site. The company produces a comprehensive line of gas and electric restaurant equipment including ranges (24"–72" widths), infrared and char-rock broilers, thermostatic and manual griddles, deep fat fryers (25–75 lb capacities), standard and bakery-depth convection ovens, hot plates, stock pot and wok ranges, and specialty equipment. Its portfolio is organized under two brands: the Royal Series (signature line) and the Royal Delux Series (premium tier created from a 2019 merger with sister-company Rankin Delux), which features proprietary TURBO Broiler and Turbo Griddle technology, all-welded lifetime-warrantied frames, 1200°F mineral wool insulation, and a two-year parts and labor warranty.

Technical differentiators include the award-winning RHEF High-Efficiency Deep Fat Fryers with zero recovery time and Energy Star certification, Solid State Infrared burner technology delivering 30% higher efficiency at 20,000 BTU/hr, and the Side Car Filter System for fryer oil management. Royal Range generates revenue exclusively through the manufacture and sale of hardware to a US distributor and representative network; pricing is not publicly disclosed and end customers are directed to local distributors via a 'Find a Distributor' tool on the website, supported by CAD/REVIT design files and PartsTown integration for OEM parts. The primary customer segment is restaurants and commercial kitchen operators in the United States, with no disclosed named end-customer relationships.

The company was acquired by Electrolux Professional Group AB, with the deal announced in November 2025 and completed in early 2026 for $20 million, against projected 2025 sales of approximately SEK 100 million (~$9.5–10M USD). Post-acquisition, operations continue from the Eastvale facility under Electrolux Professional Group ownership, providing a potential channel for international expansion through the parent's global foodservice distribution network.
