The Grote Co. Family of Brands, a provider of equipment and services to the food processing industry, is acquiring McCabe’s Mechanical Service, a provider of mechanical design and installation services located in Georgetown, Del.

McCabe's specializes in designing, building and installing conveyor belt systems for multiple industries, with deep experience in the poultry industry, working with customers such as Amick Farms, Gerber’s Amish Farm, Case Farms and Georges Inc.

“Adding McCabe’s Mechanical Service to our Grote Company Family of Brands allows us to expand mechanical and millwright services for our meat and poultry customers in the Northeast region,” said Bob Grote, chief executive officer of Grote Co. “As a longstanding, family-owned business known for its exceptional work, we feel McCabe’s fits perfectly into our brands.” 

In addition to building and servicing conveyor belt systems, McCabe’s also provides welding, modular belting, piping installation and other services. With Grote’s clientele in the poultry industry continuing to grow, the acquisition adds resources and support in the Northeast region. 

“McCabe’s Mechanical Service prides itself on putting customers’ needs first,” said Allen McCabe, owner and president, McCabe’s Mechanical Service. “By selecting another privately owned family-run business to continue our legacy, we know the company will be in good hands as ownership transitions to the Grote Company Family of Brands. The acquisition allows us to bring additional capabilities to our existing customers while continuing to grow.” 

McCabe will stay on in his role as president to guide the company during the transition.
