about Us
Amazing products. Expert staff. Value pricing.
American Energy Restaurant Equipment started in 1979 with a simple premise – we lease and service dish machines for commercial kitchens. Along the way, we established long-term relationships and partnerships with our lease clients by delivering incredible customer care.
As demand grew, we added a full line of restaurant cleaning products called Lion Chemicals® and Ice Machine Leasing.
Guaranteed service by your next meal
