About

Founded in 1902 by Nathan Wasserstrom, The Wasserstrom Company began as a small pack-and-peddle business in Columbus, Ohio, selling wares to local establishments. Over more than a century of continuous operation, the company has grown into one of the largest and most respected foodservice equipment and supplies distributors in the United States. Family leadership continues today with fourth-generation executives such as Brad and Eric Wasserstrom, who oversee various divisions of the business and guide its strategic growth. Headquartered at 4500 E. Broad Street in Columbus, the company has expanded far beyond its regional roots, operating distribution centers, sales offices, and service locations across North America. Wasserstrom’s product offerings are vast, ranging from smallwares like flatware and kitchen utensils, commercial cooking and refrigeration equipment, tabletop products, food prep tools, janitorial and warewash supplies, to custom fabricated stainless products through affiliated manufacturing operations. The company also offers consultative services such as kitchen planning, project management, and design assistance for large accounts. The Wasserstrom Company serves a wide variety of foodservice customers, including multi-unit restaurant chains, independent operators, hotels, healthcare facilities, universities, convenience stores, and more. Their focus on personalized service, deep product expertise, and integrated supply chain solutions has earned them repeated industry recognition — including multiple Dealer of the Year awards from Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine. Accredited by the Better Business Bureau (A+ rating) and known for both its heritage and its adaptability, Wasserstrom continues to build on more than 120 years of legacy while evolving with new distribution technologies and customer needs.
