Some Popular Cambro Products

Cambro's success story began in 1951 when William and Argyle Campbell brothers combined part of their last name and "bro" to derive the name Cambro. After their first items, hospital meal trays, the Campbell brothers recognized a need for a better food tray that could withstand the foodservice industry's demands. Their fiberglass-reinforced plastic tray dominated the market as a lighter, more durable, and easier-to-clean alternative. 

Over the years, the brand continued to innovate and introduce new products that catered to the specific requirements of the food service industry, like the Cambro hot boxes used in pizza delivery. Their focus on developing durable, practical, and efficient solutions for food storage and transportation earned them a strong reputation among professionals worldwide. Here are some popular items in the Cambro catalog.
