When the Total Source team looks for great food ingredients or the foodservice equipment solutions to help prepare them, it's important to find partners who understand the importance of people and food and how combine to be greater than the sum of their parts. This is certainly the case with the ITW Food Equipment Group.
But before we delve into why ITW Food Equipment Group is important, let's back up and give you the big picture. The reality is ITWFEG is part of an even larger collection of foodservice equipment brands, with the other side of that collection being Vulcan-Wolf-Berkel. Vulcan, of course, is one of the biggest names in commercial ranges, and now Total Source has completed the other half of the Vulcan puzzle by partnering with the ITWFEG side of the business, representing Hobart, Traulsen, and Baxter.
