Integrating DEAN's Legacy into Frymaster's Future

In 1995, Frymaster proudly incorporated the DEAN product line into our organization, bringing with it a legacy of innovation that began decades earlier. DEAN’s story started in 1968, when founder Dean Hutchason began manufacturing flat‑bottom fryers under license from Protor in the U.K. Throughout the 1970s, DEAN expanded its offerings with the introduction of tube‑style fryers — a technology that would eventually define the brand’s reputation for durability and efficiency.

After its acquisition by Welbilt in 1989, DEAN continued to grow until joining the Frymaster family in 1995. In 2001, DEAN operations were relocated to our Shreveport, Louisiana facility, strengthening our combined engineering and manufacturing capabilities under one roof.

Today, Frymaster continues to leverage DEAN’s renowned Thermo‑Tube technology to expand our fryer portfolio. This proven heat‑transfer system allows us to efficiently heat larger vat sizes and deliver reliable performance to kitchens around the world.
