Everyone loves popcorn be in a carnival or during the movies or at times just as a snack. The commercialisation of popcorn machines can be traced to the late 19th century to a gentleman named Charles Cretors from Chicago, Illinois. He had the first patent for steam powered machine which he introduced at the 1893 Columbian exposition.

The company Cretors are still known for their design and manufacturing equipments for the food-service and food processing industries. Read more about them here – http://bit.ly/1nqoF19
