Evo America, LLC (Part of The Middleby Corporation)

Evo was founded by innovative food people with a passion for cooking and entertaining. As a cooking appliance manufacturer, it’s our love of connecting people around food that guides everything we do. Since 2001, we have designed and built a full line of front-of-house foodservice cooking equipment and luxury residential appliances that are exceptionally energy-efficient for both indoor and outdoor use. Evo cooktops are the leading live-action display cooking equipment in the world. Our high-performance equipment includes the game-changing EVent® ventless griddle, the Affinity front-of-house presentation cooktop, the MultiZone™ electric Plancha for precise temperature control , the Centric 20E indoor action station and the Professional Wheeled Cart for outdoor catering. All are designed and manufactured in the USA and have been recognized by operators and chefs for the quality craftsmanship and cooking consistency. We are very proud that the Evo EVent® was awarded the 2015 Kitchen Innovation Award by the National Restaurant Association. The patented EVent® ventless cooking station is designed for front-of-house cooking for restaurants, sports arenas, cafeterias, convention centers, resorts, grocery stores and foodservice operators. The EVent® includes a high-efficiency electric griddle integrated with a ventilation system that extracts air across the griddle surface through a series of filters including an electrostatic precipitator that removes smoke and grease particulates before exhausting clean air. Now you can position the cooktop anywhere, you are no longer constrained or restricted by overhead hoods or air systems. In 2018, the MultiZone™ Plancha was also awarded the prestigious Kitchen Innovations Award for its ability to manage multiple cooking tasks, requiring temperature variation, all on one piece of equipment with minimal carryover between zones!
