Equipment Consultant

The funny thing about our great industry is that once you get a job in it, you never really leave. That is certainly the case for Erwin Zilker, who joined AERE in December 2019 after already posting 16 years in the industry. As with most of us, he started as a server and worked his way up to restaurant management before moving on to managing operations for a local catering business. AERE was lucky to add Erwin to our sales team roster where his depth of experience in foodservice operations translates well into foodservice equipment consulting and sales. And, having once been one of AERE’s rental customers, he stands ready to walk you through our dish and ice machine rental/service program.
