David Marvel reposted thisDavid Marvel reposted thisNourishing Our World and having fun together! The Duke team took the partnership with #StLouisAreaFoodbank to the next level yesterday through a day of service. The scheduling of this event was very timely given the added need for hunger relief caused by the tragic tornado. The impact report was 352 dry good boxes, 320 disaster boxes and a hefty food sort that totaled 10,106 meals for the hungry. Both Duke and NAFEM plan to match the team's efforts with additional contributions. #NAFEMFightingHunger

David Marvel reposted thisDavid Marvel reposted thisDuke Manufacturing Co. has appointed Greg Hake as president and Nedra Sadorf as chief commercial officer. “I am excited to share an important update about our leadership — an announcement that reflects both our commitment to growth and our dedication to building strong capabilities across our organization,” owner and Chairman Jack Hake said in a press release. Greg Hake is part of the third generation of the Hake family to be involved in the business, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025. He has been with the company in various leadership roles for more than 16 years, most recently serving as the chief operating officer. Sadorf joined Duke in 2023 as the chief marketing officer. In her new role, she will oversee the FEDA manufacturer member company’s commercial organization and will be responsible for further integrating marketing, sales, customer care, service, and product management with customer experience strategies. “Under Nedra and Greg’s guidance, we aim to expand our capabilities, embrace new opportunities and strengthen our position as a leader in our markets,” CEO Dave Marvel said. “They, and our entire team, are dedicated to nourishing not only our customers but also our employees and the communities that have supported us for the past century.” https://ow.ly/EeVW50VjULu

David Marvel reposted thisDavid Marvel reposted thisTwo things are essential when you are holding and serving food for your customers or students: quality and visibility. Serving equipment must reliably and consistently maintain the proper temperature to ensure the food is both safe and tasty. And the serving equipment needs to help ensure the food is the “hero”: appetizing, visually appealing, and easily accessible. Enter Duke Manufacturing’s NEW N7 Cold-Pan, colloquially referred to as the “Almost Flush Cold Pan”. With the same performance and dependability, you have come to count on, and now with only a ¾” inch recess, you can showcase your menu even better. Come explore the new N7! #schoollunch #coldwell #DukeManufacturing

David Marvel reposted thisDavid Marvel reposted thisWater is bad. At least, when it comes to your well appliances. The Waterless Hot Food Well eliminates water AND IMPROVES food quality! Not to mention eliminates the risk of steam burns, eliminates the need for a floor drain, and reduces energy costs overall.

David Marvel reacted on thisDavid Marvel reacted on thisA quick update on my "retired life". I can honestly say this chapter has been a gift—one filled with rest, learning, creativity, and gratitude. One of the first things retirement taught me was how to rest. For years, I encouraged the team I led to maintain a healthy work-life balance, but I did not always give myself that same grace. This season has reminded me how important it is to slow down and make space for well-being. Before retiring, I had planned to finish my master’s degree in Human Resources. Instead, my path took an unexpected and wonderful turn: I enrolled in culinary school at a local community college and started a small business. Baking has always been something I loved and shared with my mom, and culinary school has allowed me to take that passion to a new level through bakery and pastry arts. I have loved learning, creating, and being surrounded by classmates whose energy and friendship have been such an unexpected joy. My small business venture is especially close to my heart. I have always loved the neighborhood ice cream truck and the sweet nostalgia it brings. I wanted to share that same simple joy with our community. What began on a whim slowly became a labor of love, resulting in what we lovingly call the “Sweetie’s Mobile.” Inspired by the surfer woody trucks of the 1960s, the Sweetie’s Mobile is more than an ice cream truck; it is a little piece of nostalgia on wheels. The happiness, anticipation, and sweet summer memories it represents are at the heart of everything we hope to share. Our community has embraced us through neighborhood runs and special events, including private parties, Vacation Bible School at our church, and visits to an adult day care facility for individuals with mental and physical challenges. The smiles and joy we see from all our customers make my heart incredibly happy. This season has been one of growth, rest, creativity, and gratitude. I am thankful for the opportunity to keep learning, follow new passions, and share a little joy along the way. Life’s sweetest chapters often begin when we give ourselves permission to slow down and begin again.
