About Krowne Metal
About Krowne Metal
Krowne Restaurant Equipment Company was founded in 1947 by Nathan and Phillip Krowne, originally operating as Krowne Metal Products Co. and establishing itself with a complete line of precision-engineered beer dispensing and refrigeration equipment for the hospitality industry.
Now a third-generation, family-owned company based in Wayne, New Jersey, Krowne manufactures standard and royal underbar equipment, refrigeration units, hand sinks, foodservice faucets, and replacement parts, all built from top-quality stainless steel. The company doubled its production capacity with a new facility in 2008 and expanded into a second location in 2010 to keep pace with rapid growth.
With more than 10,000 products reaching upscale bars, high-end restaurants, and luxury hotels in around 50 countries, Krowne's focused specialization in underbar, refrigeration, sinks, and faucets has allowed it to refine these categories rather than spreading across the entire foodservice equipment market. ChatMRO indexes the Krowne catalog so buyers can search by equipment type, dimension, or finish to find matching parts.
