The Beginning : About Us

In 1947, Al Berger began his education in the foodservice industry working for Dallas Sheet Metal Works which he would later acquire ownership in, and form Fabricators International. This company would lay the foundation for the development for many of the most successful restaurants in the country.

After the sale of Fabricators International to The Sunbeam Corporation he served his two year non-compete with TGI Friday’s, at which time he did their first forty-five units. He then formed Food Service Concepts and once again had the opportunity of serving some of the country’s finest chefs, such as Tom Collichio, Pano Karatassos, Charlie Palmer, Kent Rathbun, Joel Antunes, and Albert Roux, owner of La Gavroshe in London. After twenty years, Food Service Concepts, was sold to a group of investors who decided after a year to return the company to Al Berger.

A new identity was formed---Alliance Food Equipment Corporation. While Alliance Food Equipment still remains a family run company, it has steadily grown to become one of the best restaurant design and equipment dealers in the country. With over sixty years experience, and a team of dedicated associates, Alliance Food Equipment remains committed to offering quality design, fabrication, and installation, second to none to serve the foodservice and hospitality industries.
