American Range Founder Sought Match to Take Company to the Next Stage Hatco Corp., a FEDA manufacturer member, has acquired American Range, a manufacturer of commercial and residential broilers, ovens, ranges, fryers, and other cooking appliances.

“American Range has been a strong and trusted brand in the foodservice industry for many years, much like Hatco Corporation,” Hatco President Lorne Deacon said. “This strategic acquisition broadens our product offerings and expands our opportunities to service customers in the foodser- vice industry. We look forward to building on the success of this American-made brand.” Shane Demirjian, founder and CEO of Ameri-

can Range, said, “Having built American Range with the help of my father, Mourad H. Demirjian, from the ground up, the company is more than just a business to me. So, when I decided to look for a partner to take it to the next stage, it was important to me that the employees and customers of American Range were left in good hands. Hatco with its reputation for product excellence and customer service, and as an employee-owned company, fit that bill perfectly. I am excited to see what the next phase of American Range will be like as part of the Hatco group of companies.” ABOUT US AMERICAN RANGE is a Chef Inspired, Professional Cooking Equipment manufacturer, renowned for our pas- sion for operational excellence, supported by advanced technology and innovation.
