The DC Norris Legacy in Food Processing Equipment Manufacturing
Founded in 1970 in the United Kingdom by David Norris and his father, Douglas Norris, DC Norris has consistently advanced food processing technology and equipment since. Early on, David Norris introduced the cook-chill concept to food manufacturers across the UK and Europe, revolutionizing the ready-meal market with equipment that shortens cooking times, produces consistent quality, improves safety, and extends shelf life. Soon after, DC Norris quickly expanded its machinery offerings by applying innovative engineering to various food cooking, cooling, and storage challenges. Today, DC Norris manufactures a robust portfolio of food machinery in the UK and ships to food manufacturing operations around the globe.
