CGA Reps was founded in October of 1981 by T Carman and Don Girard. The company started with three equipment lines: Metro, Cleveland Range Company, and Frymaster Corporation.  

In October 1986, our Headquarters was moved to 3157 Presidential Drive, Atlanta, Ga. This building houses offices, a test kitchen, a small showroom, and a warehouse. Our location allows easy access from both I-285 and I-85.  

As sales volume grew, several more outside salespersons and support staff have been added, allowing the tradition oof personal and knowledgeable service to continue. 

We strive to represent and distribute lines that offer our customers foodservice equipment that is energy efficient, has cutting edge technology, and is innovative.  

Both T Carmen and Don Girard have retired, and ownership is now in the hands of Nick Swanson, Seth Swanson, and Dave Blum. They continue to grow the company, while holding fast to the principles upon which it was founded: integrity, service, and relationships.
