How Do We Make Our American Bakery Equipment?
At Schaumburg Specialties, we’re proud to be Made In The USA. All the commercial baking equipment that we manufacture is built from top quality American materials and crafted by American workers, right here at our plant in Schaumburg, Illinois.
Why Our Bakery Equipment Is 100% Made In The USA
How Our Bakery Equipment Suppliers Keep It All-American
For decades, Schaumburg Specialties has been one of the foremost bakery equipment manufacturers in the U.S; we’re American through and through!
All of the tools, components and materials we use in our bakery equipment manufacturing process are sourced from domestic suppliers. We do not source anything from overseas and you will find no foreign parts in our products.
The whole process is import and tariff-free, which means far fewer cost fluctuations and delays – just a lightning quick production and delivery service for our customers.
Built To Withstand Commercial Use
Designed and precision engineered to perform even in the toughest environments, our SHOPCraft range of commercial baking equipment is designed for daily use in high-output bakeries.
Using top quality, heavy-gauge American aluminum and stainless steel, as well as reinforced welding techniques, our team of highly skilled metal fabricators manufactures equipment that’s strong, sturdy and built to endure.
In fact, we’re so confident in the craftsmanship and materials used to manufacture our racks, that we offer a lifetime guarantee across the whole SHOPCraft range – and our other INTELLICraft, MEDICraft and AGRICraft ranges too! That means we’ll repair or replace any equipment (except for casters) that has been damaged through faulty workmanship or materials free of charge.
Our SHOPCraft range is compatible with ovens, freezers, chillers and proofers and with its sanitary, all-welded design, is super easy to clean and low maintenance, meaning less downtime and fewer production delays for your business. Sanitary design also means our American baking equipment is food safe and compatible with stringent FDA and NSF safety standards.
Why American Manufacturing Matters
Why does an all-American manufacturing process matter? We believe it promotes resilient, independent food systems and a robust, strong economy that is well-placed to help our country stay strong in the long term.
Schaumburg Specialties is and always will be committed to American manufacturing and jobs. Buying bakery equipment from us is an investment in U.S. skilled trades, U.S. industry and the U.S. economy.
Domestic production of our commercial baking equipment also means that the whole process – from initial consultation through to delivery – is reliable, accountable and traceable. We are your local manufacturers, suppliers and equipment servicing and maintenance technicians and are always ready to help and guide our customers, either in person, on the phone or via our website. The delays, miscommunication and quality inconsistencies often associated with global supply chains and delivery networks simply do not occur.
Sourcing Locally, Supporting US Suppliers
Our Network Of US Vendors
Schaumburg Specialties is lucky to have a strong network of vendors – including metals suppliers and parts manufacturers – across the country who we can rely on to provide us with top quality materials to make our products.
These partnerships have been developed over many years and the strong, stable relationships we have with our vendors means the consistency and quality of customer service we are able to provide is second to none. It also means we’re able to support regional economies and jobs, which is something we’re very proud of.
Local Materials, American Quality
All the aluminum and steel that we use to make our food-grade American bakery equipment is sourced locally, from U.S. mills, guaranteeing American quality and excellence.
All our materials are top quality
Being local also means traceable sourcing, so we know exactly where our materials are coming from and you have total control over the quality of materials entering your bakery.
No Compromises In Quality
At Schaumburg Specialties, we never compromise on quality – period. We fully trust our local vendors to supply us with American-grade stainless steel and premium quality metals, and we fully trust the exceptional skills of our fabrication team to make top quality equipment.
All our fabrication, welding and equipment assembly takes place in-house at our plant in Schaumburg, IL. We are lucky to have a highly skilled team of American design engineers and craftsmen who are dedicated to providing our customers with the strong, sturdy, food-safe (and NSF approved) commercial baking equipment that we’re famous for.

Helping You Bake 100% American Products
Bake On American Equipment, Sell American Goods
When you’re buying bakery equipment from Schaumburg Specialties, you’re investing in America and American jobs and industry. The fact that every step of our design and manufacturing process takes place in America and is carried out by American workers using American materials means that your business is producing wholly American-made products and supporting our local and regional economies.
This can be very appealing to “origin-aware” consumers who like their brands to be transparent about where and how their food is manufactured and by whom. There is a rapidly growing trend for donuts made in the USA for example, as well as breads made with American bakery equipment and research suggests that consumers are far more likely to trust your product and invest in it if you’re Made In America.
Ideal For “Made In USA” Marketing
Such consumer trends make it crucial that leading brands and businesses put the emphasis on a local, all-American identity and a 100% U.S. supply chain.
Doing this can work wonders for brand enhancement, builds brand loyalty and helps you stay ahead of the compliance and food traceability trends that are shaping the future of the industry.
