President's Message
Welcome
to the Commercial Food Equipment Service Association
(CFESA). We are a purpose-driven, not-for-profit association
committed to service excellence for the foodservice
industry.
There
has never been a better time to be part of our association.
In addition to outstanding and responsive training programs,
we continue to partner with numerous industry partners,
allied associates and commercial foodservice equipment
manufacturers. Our Board of Directors works closely with
our membership to contribute to their well-being and
business success. Highly dedicated and hard working, our
Board is committed to making serious contributions, which
impact the foodservice industry. Indeed, an important part
of CFESA’s mission is to ‘help its members meet the
challenges of the industry and ensure customer
satisfaction’.
Founded
in 1963, CFESA members promote the highest standards of
professional service. With over 450 members, representing
all of North America, our members stock OEM (original
equipment manufacturer) parts-the best for any
equipment-with access to an online inventory of millions of
parts. CFESA Certified Technicians will deliver a higher
first time fix rate, thereby keeping downtime to a minimum.
With more than 3,000 CFESA Certified Technicians, there is a
qualified technician in every area to get and keep
commercial kitchen equipment up and running.
The
Mission of CFESA is to anticipate trends and provide
services and education to raise standards of performance,
help its members meet the challenges of the industry and
ensure customer satisfaction. The Vision of CFESA is to be
a leader in the foodservice industry. The Association and
its members will be recognized as professional, forward
thinking and customer oriented.

the legacy of CFESA, we will continue our efforts to ensure
the successful training, education and networking of all our
members. We invite you to join us on our journey of
