In 1947 a young entrepreneur named Sam Stein invested $23 in some used equipment to produce uniform sized hamburger patties by hand. He supplied restaurants with his product and this business grew to be known as Grill Meats. In 1955 Sam needed a way to mechanically batter/bread products on his production line and hired Dick Johnson to design such a machine. That was the beginning of Stein, Inc.
