Founded in 1896 by the Beckwith family as an iron and metal workshop in Boston, it wasn't long before Market Forge would enter into the foodservice industry by producing galvanized racks to improve the unsanitary conditions of meat-packing plants. In 1916, the company outgrew its facilities and moved to Everett, MA, where it's currently headquartered.
By the 1920s, Market Forge was committed to improving the foodservice industry as a whole. The manufacturing company emerged as a national entity, specializing in meat racks and refrigeration equipment. Towards the end of the decade, Market Forge began to fabricate products out of stainless steel. One of their new products was a cast iron vegetable steamer, which was the first modern steam cooker.
In the 1970s, Market Forge sold many of its divisions and focused on becoming the premier steam equipment manufacturer in the world. By adding products to its line such as steam jacketed kettles and Tilting Skillets the company was well on its way to completing its mission.
Today, the products introduced by Market Forge decades ago are still featured in their existing line of products. By continuously improving upon the original, the company has successfully managed to maintain its level of excellence within the industry.

That's why Market Forge continuously works to improve products that are already considered to be top of the line. That's also why Market Forge has remained the premier steam equipment manufacturer in the foodservice industry.
