Vanrooy Machinery Geelong was established in 1978 by John Van Rooy, who was inspired by his own experiences in the baking industry and the lack of innovative choices available to him and many others. With his European heritage, John was certain there was better out there, so he travelled to one of the biggest European bakery exhibitions in the early 1970’s, found the exact new technology he wanted, and imported the first two rack ovens into Australia. It was here that he saw a business opportunity.
Fast forward 44-years and this fourth-generation, family-run company now offers a wide range of innovative, automated and specialist equipment to the best in the business across Melbourne and Geelong. Specifically, the Vanrooy product range caters for Bakery, Patisserie, Chocolate, Gelato, Ice Cream, Pizza, Food Processing, Hospitality, Industrial and Food Manufacturing equipment.
We are deeply guided by four key values: Customer Service, Teamwork, Innovation, and Integrity. It is the accumulation of these core qualities that has turned our family-founded and operated business into the number one supplier of food equipment to the industry in Australia and New Zealand.
Customer focus is at the core of our family-oriented business and we believe that the relationship between supplier and customer should last long after the purchase journey. That’s why we offer Geelong 24/7 service and support, as well as a company-exclusive 2-year warranty.
Our team is built up of industry professionals who are experts in their field, and we only provide our customers with the very best. We understand how important it is to have total peace of mind when purchasing your bakery equipment in Geelong, which is why we built the first and only carbon-neutral Test Kitchen in the country, powered entirely by solar.
Vanrooy has been built from the ground-up based on a combination of passion, inspiration and admiration for the industry. We strive for nothing but excellence in the equipment that we sell, the service that we provide, and the satisfaction of our customers.
