At CGA Reps, our story began in 1981 when visionaries T. Carman and Don Girard set out to revolutionize the foodservice industry. What started with three trusted brands, Metro, Cleveland Range Company, and Frymaster Corporation has since evolved into a vibrant and innovative leader in the industry.
By 1986, CGA made its mark in Atlanta, GA, with a strategic headquarters at 3157 Presidential Drive, easily accessible from I-285 and I-85. Here, we’ve cultivated a space where innovation thrives—a place that features cutting-edge test kitchens, a hands-on showroom, and a fully stocked warehouse. It’s where we collaborate with our clients, share ideas, and put our products to the test.
Over the years, CGA’s growth has been fueled by one thing: people. Our team expanded as sales volumes soared, bringing outside sales experts and support staff, all while staying true to what makes us unique—personalized service, expertise, and a genuine commitment to our clients.
We’re not just in the business of selling equipment. We’re here to help our customers thrive, offering top-of-the-line foodservice solutions that are energy-efficient, packed with innovation, and built with the latest technology. Whether it’s a small local business or a large-scale operation, CGA provides products that change the game.
Today, under the leadership of Nick Swanson, Seth Swanson, and Dave Blum, CGA continues to evolve. We’re still guided by the core principles that made us who we are, integrity, exceptional service, and the power of lasting relationships. But we’re also driven by an unrelenting passion for progress and a commitment to shaping the future of foodservice.
At CGA Reps, we don’t just represent brands, we’re here to build partnerships that last. Come see what makes us different.
