Dating back to our family owned company’s founding in 1885, C. Cretors & Company is considered the true pioneer in the field of popcorn and other food service product making equipment for a variety of industries, such as movie theatres, stadiums, amusement parks, retail establishments and many other types of businesses where delicious and fresh concession style food is so popular.


From the creation of horse drawn popcorn wagons and peanut roasters more than 100 years ago to the manufacturing of today’s cutting edge machinery, we have led the industry in innovation for more than 135 years. Still operating from our home base in the Chicago, IL area our company has been passed down through multiple generations of the Cretors family.

No matter the type of concession business our customers operate, we have machinery that is designed and scaled to meet their unique needs. We work closely with our customers to ensure that our products are maximizing the business opportunities available in their respective industries.
