We bring patented, technical innovation and personalized service together, which makes us stand apart.

Rome grinding solutions history

Rome Grinding Solutions originally served the oil mill industry and rendering needs. Since 1977, four generations have led this company and introduced eight new grinders to the food production industry. We’ve won four patents from the USPTO and introduced the revolutionary RRS in 2013. All proudly made in the USA, right here in Iowa.

For some of us, this is our family’s legacy. For many of us, this is our life’s work. For all of us and those who came before us, this is our history. And we’re just getting started.
