The Middleby Corporation announced that its Food Processing business will operate under the name Midera Food Processing, Inc. The change is in line with transforming Middleby’s Food Processing platform into a more focused, technology-driven organization specializing in complete line solutions. Midera debuts as an entity with more than 30 global brands.

“Over decades, we built a global reputation as an industry leader delivering exceptional quality and innovative total line solutions as Middleby Food Processing. Today, we are proud to start a new chapter as Midera, a name that will continue to reflect the deep commitment of our brands. We are excited about our future as a standalone company and are now launching our identity as Midera,” said Mark Salman, Midera’s incoming Chief Executive Officer and current president of the Middleby Food Processing Group.

The separation of Midera into a standalone public company is expected to be completed on July 6, 2026, subject to customary conditions. Midera intends to apply to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

“I am confident that the Midera senior team has a solid strategy for growth with the highly respected global business we’ve built over the past two decades. Under the name Midera, the positive momentum will continue long after the company separates from Middleby and becomes a standalone business,” said Tim FitzGerald, Chief Executive Officer of The Middleby Corporation. “Midera leadership has exhibited financial strength and discipline while delivering industry-leading advanced solutions to the marketplace. The business is well-positioned for future success.”

Midera Food Processing provides food processing equipment and automation solutions for industrial protein, bakery, and snack producers, delivering total line solutions from preparation and thermal processing through packaging. With a portfolio of over 30 brands, Midera employs approximately 2,800 people worldwide. It is headquartered in Rosemond, Illinois.
