Custom-Made Food Equipment on the Move

In 1958, Bill Sekora founded Custom Mobile Food Equipment, Hammonton, the only company in the world that manufactures custom-made mobile food service vehicles.

Sikora began his career path at the age of eight when he pulled a wagon serving flavored ice during Camden's hot summers. He derived pleasure from earning money, making new friends and seeing his customers happy. He soon began to fantasize about running his own mobile food service business.

Forty-seven years later, the company is reporting sales of $14 million annually, and has a list of well-known clients, including: Disney World, with kiosks standing in the Animal Kingdom and throughout the theme park; Salvation Army; Breyers Ice Cream; Coca-Cola; Pepsi; and the U.S. government. It has shipped vehicles globally to Korea, Italy and England.

"Custom Mobile Food Equipment is the only company that works from the ground up," says Sikora. "We will specifically design a mobile food cart according to a customer's request, which is one reason we've been able to control the market."
