Artisan Grills

Active

Overview

Artisan Grills is a residential grill brand manufactured by Alfresco, a commercial kitchen equipment manufacturer. Positioned as an affordable luxury alternative to the premium Alfresco line, Artisan offers high-quality outdoor cooking equipment built using the same manufacturing methodologies and facilities as commercial restaurant equipment. The brand targets homeowners seeking professional-grade grilling performance at a more accessible price point than the flagship Alfresco brand.

History

Artisan was created by Alfresco as a sister brand to expand market reach beyond the luxury segment. Alfresco itself was launched in 1999 as a residential line by Superior Equipment Solutions, leveraging decades of commercial kitchen equipment manufacturing expertise. The parent company, Superior Equipment Solutions, manufactures both the Artisan residential brand and several established commercial brands. All Artisan products are manufactured in the USA using the same craftspeople and facilities that produce Alfresco grills.
