The Voice of Commercial Food Equipment Service
As the industry’s only trade association, CFESA is the unifying force of commercial food equipment service. We connect every link in the chain — the techs in the field, the manufacturers engineering the equipment and the operators who rely on expert service to keep kitchens running.
Beyond technical mastery, we create powerful industry connections through regional meetings, our annual conference and exclusive networking opportunities — giving service agents, manufacturers and vendors a central hub for growth, collaboration and innovation.
60+ Years of Elevating the Industry
Founded in 1963 to fill a critical gap in food equipment service, we started as a space for repair pros to exchange ideas, sharpen skills and build lasting partnerships. Today, we are the backbone of the industry, driving innovation and setting the bar for excellence across the trades.
Our Mission
To anticipate trends and provide resources, training and education to support excellence in service.
Our Vision
To be recognized as the standard of excellence for servicing commercial food equipment.
Education
The very core of what we do, what we represent and how we go to market.
Excellence
We respect our peers, the quality of our association and the product our members produce.
Integrity
Goodwill and rapport are most easily gained through an ethical, honest approach, our association’s openness to new and diverse members, and the transparency of committee/board and HQ work.
Safety
Safety is the cornerstone of providing quality education and, therefore, quality work from our members. Safety brings fairness and longevity to the front-line worker and profitability to the bottom line of our members.
Advocate
We are the voice of our industry. Representing our members in every corner of our trade, championing our causes with our allied partners.
