Carlisle FoodService Products began trading in 1955 as Continental Plastics and produced the world’s first plastic bain-marie. This innovation started a process that completely changed food storage and handling. A few years later, the first commercial-grade plastic Beverage Pitcher followed. This original became an international standard. Today’s VersaPour is it’s direct descendent and it was the predecessor to what has become the most extensive line of beverage transport and commercial service products in the world. Carlisle FoodService Products is a global company, distributing in 89 countries worldwide.
