Jeff Johnson Joins the Culinary Equipment Group Team

Culinary Equipment Group is pleased to welcome Jeff Johnson to its team. For Jeff, it's a bit of a homecoming. Beginning in 2005, he worked alongside James Carr and Sam Franklin as the Unified Brands Territory Manager assigned to their rep group. Nearly two decades later, the band is back together.

Jeff's career covers just about every side of commercial kitchen equipment. He spent 23 years with Unified Brands, now Electrolux Professional Group. He started there as a mechanical designer on the Avtec line and moved up through engineering supervision, production engineering and manufacturing leadership. He then went on to serve as Director of Inside Sales, Territory Manager and Regional Sales Manager.

In 2017, Jeff joined Apex Commercial Kitchen Company as an outside sales representative. He stayed with the company through its acquisition by a private equity firm and its rebrand as Curate.

"We've known Jeff for a long time, and we're excited to have him on our side of the table again. He knows equipment inside and out, from the first drawing to the finished kitchen, and our customers are going to feel that right away," said Sam Franklin, outside sales at Culinary Equipment Group.

Jeff knows how equipment is designed, built and sold, which makes him a real resource for dealers, consultants and operators. Please join us in welcoming him to the Culinary Equipment Group family.
