Zazzaro, an executive chef who has been working in the food service industry for over 25 years. Within these 25 years, Mike has accomplished what many haven't throughout a life-long career in the food industry. Michael started his career by earning a management degree in the culinary arts field from Johnson and Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, where he spent over 4 years focusing on the art of Culinary. Since 2011, Chef's Catering has expanded greatly, fully equipped with a top of the line food trailer as well as a mobile food truck to satisfy the unique wants and needs of each and every client.  The growth of Chef's provides each client with various catering options including, but not limited to, drop off, on-site full service, and food truck services.  Since the expansion of Chef's Catering and the addition of the mobile kitchens, Chef's has been able to expand its networks allowing them to travel outside the local Rochester area reaching as far East as Utica, South as Ithaca, and West as Hamburg. His professionalism shows through as he creates the perfect atmosphere for your event. It doesn't take much more explaining for you to probably catch on to the fact that Mike’s on-site catering will provide you with exceptional service, that gives you a complete peace of mind.  As a result, the company has built long lasting relationships, one client at a time.

  All are invited to join us on Friday, July 25th  for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the new location of Roc Industrial, LLC 10 Hojack Park Greece, NY 14616    Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 10:00 am Join us in welcoming family business Roc Industrial to the neighborhood and come meet Co-founders and father and son team Emad Kadhim (President) and Ahmad Hasan (Operations Manager)! Ahmad Hasan and Emad Kadhim at Roc Industrial’s building in Rochester. (Photo provided by Roc Industrial)   Roc Industrial meets growing demand with expansion in Rochester Andrea Deckert//May 7, 2025 Key takeaways: • Roc Industrial doubles space with move to a 5,200 sq. ft. facility in Rochester • Offers new, used and refurbished parts plus repair and tech support • Earned ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management • Serves clients across Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and beyond   Roc Industrial LLC was founded on a simple premise: to provide high-quality industrial parts at fair prices and deliver exceptional customer service.  Emad Kadhim, the company’s president and co-founder, started the business in 2018 after he became tired of seeing businesses struggle to find reliable parts and affordable repairs, often facing long lead times and impersonal service.   “We knew there had to be a better way,” he said.  His passion for industrial automation and commitment to exceeding customer expectations – along with support from his family and the firm’s employees – has helped the business grow.  Roc Industrial recently moved to a 5,200-square-foot building in Rochester, which is roughly double the size of its former location on Monroe Avenue.  The industrial equipment supplier – which sells to customers across the U.S. and around the world – is now looking to expand its regional customer base, Kadhim said, noting the newly acquired building gives the firm the ability to better serve customers across the Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse region. The family-owned business supplies new, used and refurbished industrial parts – such as control systems, drives and servo motors and provides repair services for the manufacturing sector and other industries.  Additional services include product testing, tech support, delivery and assistance with disposing of defective equipment. Roc Industrial’s customer base ranges from small businesses and research and development departments to prototype manufacturers and industrial startups. Many are repeat customers.  The 10-person firm recently earned its ISO 9001:2015 certification, a globally recognized standard for quality management systems.  Kadhim’s son and co-founder, Ahmad Hasan, noted that the standards such as the new ISO-certification provide a “strong road map for continual process improvements that will continue to ensure the best experience for our customers as we grow.”  Kadhim and his wife, Ida, fled Iraq in the early 2000s. After briefly living in Syria, the family moved to the Rochester region.  The couple continued their education in Rochester, with Kadhim graduating from Monroe Community College with an A.A.S. degree in electronics engineering. He then worked as an engineering technician for several years at Classic Automation.  He originally operated Roc Industrial from his home in Henrietta with the help of his family – including all his children – and quickly outgrew the space.  The company’s current location fits its needs, he said, including its goals to increase local customers and work toward opportunities to secure government contracts.   Roc Industrial is deeply rooted in the Rochester region, Kadhim noted, adding the business wants to do its part to support the community-at-large, including fostering the next generation of skilled trade workers.  The business is also heavily focusing on the repair side of the business.  With uncertainty over tariffs proposed, and enacted, by the federal administration, Kadhim believes Roc Industrial can help businesses extend the life of their current equipment, which could eliminate the need for new equipment that may need to be purchased overseas.    In addition to current global economic uncertainties, companies had already been more hesitant when it comes to major purchases since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, he added.   Kadhim believes Roc Industrial is well positioned to help companies navigate the current challenges.   “We are on the right path to grow and expand the business,” he said.   [email protected] / (585) 653-4021
