Robot Coupe USA, Inc.
Robot Coupe U.S.A. was founded by Jackson residents Rollins Brown, Bill Gilmore and Dan Bounds. After seeing the Robot Coupe food processor in action at LeRuth's Restaurant in New Orleans, the three partners in conjunction with Robot Coupe France established a new company, Robot Coupe U.S.A., to market this amazing new product to the American market. When the Robot Coupe commercial food processor was developed by Pierre Verdun of Robot Coupe France, it was a totally new concept since food preparation - slicing, dicing, shredding, and grating - was done by hand making it very labor intensive. Robot Coupe U.S.A. introduced and promoted the commercial food processor to the North American continent by demonstrating it at various shows, seminars, and conventions throughout the country and made the name Robot Coupe synonymous with commercial food processors.
In its 30 years, Robot Coupe has grown from 4 employees - the original three founders and their girl Friday, Jo Wilson - to over 40 employees today with multi-million dollars sales. From a modest start of only four (4) different food processor models, the Robot Coupe line has grown to over 70 food processors, vertical cutter-mixers, blixers and power mixers. Its commercial food processor line ranges in size from the R100, 2 1/2-quart unit to its 60-quart vertical cutter-mixer, the R60TS. Because of the company's dedication to producing the very best product available, its commitment to research and development, and its constant striving to give its customers the best customer and service support available, the Robot Coupe Commercial Food Processor has become the worldwide "standard of the industry" for the entire food processing industry - restaurants, schools, correction facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, cruise ships, and delicatessens.
Through the dedication and hard work of Robot Coupe's staff, the company has become the foodservice industry leader in the development and refinement of food processors, vegetable preparation units, and combination processing units. In 1998 Robot Coupe introduced the "Blixer" - a combination food processor/blender in one machine. This machine enabled the healthcare industry to serve the same foods to everyone in their facility by processing any food for patients with modified diet needs all the way down to tube feedings, if needed, without the loss of any valuable nutrients. For gourmet chefs, the Blixer produces the smoothest and creamiest of purees and patés in just seconds. This year Robot Coupe is introducing its new line of Power Mixers, which is distinguished from its competition by its superior cleanability, power, ease of use and enhanced sanitation.
