What Breckenridge Kitchen Equipment & Design does

Breckenridge Kitchen Equipment & Design is a U.S. foodservice equipment and design firm founded in 1935 in Sandusky, Ohio and currently headquartered at 2401 Sawmill Parkway, Suite 7, Huron, Ohio. The company operates two integrated service lines: Design & Engineering, and Equipment & Installation. Its design work utilizes industry-specific computer-aided drafting (AutoCAD with KCL food service equipment symbols) to produce preliminary plans, final design documents, equipment schedules, electrical and plumbing connection plans, and Section 11400 contract/bidding documents. The equipment and installation line procures commercial kitchen equipment from more than 100 U.S. manufacturers across cooking, refrigeration, banquet service, exhaust hoods and fire suppression, walk-ins, ice-making, custom fabrication, and millwork, and delivers complete on-site installation including warehousing, delivery, setting-in-place, stainless steel field welding, solid surface seams, and duct work, ready for final plumbing and electrical connection.

The firm serves enterprise customers across four vertical segments — lodging and hospitality, healthcare, education, and restaurants — acting as a single-source design-build partner to architects, engineers, owners, developers, construction managers, and general contractors. Pricing is project-based via an industry-specific quoting program and supports formal construction bidding with bonding capabilities exceeding four million dollars. Named engagements include the Marathon Petroleum Corporate Headquarters, Cedar Point, The Jewish Hospital (Cincinnati), The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, the University of Cincinnati servery, Powers Elementary, the Cleveland Museum of Art, Hensville at Toledo Mudhens stadium, and Cliff House (Maine).

In January 2026, Breckenridge was acquired by The Wasserstrom Company, the third-largest U.S. foodservice equipment and supplies dealer at $716 million in annual revenue. Breckenridge contributes $21.02 million in annual revenue to the combined entity and continues operating from its Huron, Ohio headquarters, gaining expanded market reach and project management scale through Wasserstrom's distribution and dealer network.
