The Hobart Brand Story

Innovation, Reliability, and a Legacy of Engineering Excellence 

For more than a century, Hobart has been shaping the standard of professional dishwashing and catering technology across the world. 
From its beginnings in Ohio in the late 1800s to its position today as a global leader in commercial warewashing, Hobart’s story is one of continuous innovation, precision engineering, and a commitment to helping kitchens work more efficiently. 

Every Hobart product is built on the same founding principle, to make life in the kitchen simpler, cleaner, and more sustainable. 

A Heritage of Innovation 

The first Hobart dishwasher was developed over a hundred years ago, introducing automatic washing to professional kitchens for the very first time. Since then, Hobart engineers have continued to lead the way in design and performance, from early motor-driven systems to today’s energy-saving, smart-controlled machines. 

This long-standing focus on innovation is why Hobart remains synonymous with reliability and professional quality in kitchens worldwide. 

Engineered for Professionals 

Hobart’s reputation has always been built on precision manufacturing and rigorous quality control. Every machine is engineered to meet the demands of busy hospitality, education, and healthcare environments — delivering powerful wash performance, minimal downtime, and industry-leading efficiency. 

Whether it’s an Ecomax undercounter dishwasher for a small café or a Premax hood machine for a large-scale kitchen, each product reflects the same engineering integrity that defines the Hobart name. 

Sustainability at the Heart of Design 

Long before sustainability became an industry buzzword, Hobart was developing technology to reduce water, energy, and detergent use. 
Today, that innovation continues through features like heat recovery, smart rinse systems, and auto-cleaning technology, all designed to reduce environmental impact and lifetime costs. 

By helping operators lower consumption and extend equipment life, Hobart combines environmental responsibility with long-term value for its customers.
