Blackstone Expanding in Europe, Hires Head of European Markets

Blackstone is by far the biggest name in griddles in the US with an estimated 80% share of the griddle market. Despite how much growth they’ve had in the US, they are aren’t well known internationally.

They’ve made strides to try to change that by partnering with a distributor in the UK, and on a larger scale working to merge with Weber. As part of their plans to increase their international presence they’ve made a key hire.
