Furniture & Design · Represented in 2 states
emu, represented by Zink Foodservice.
Patio season in the Great Lakes is short, which makes the furniture matter more, not less. emu's outdoor chairs, tables, and lounge pieces — aluminum, teak, and mesh, brought to North America by emuamericas — stand up to commercial use and weather without giving up comfort. Plan the whole patio in pCon with real emu pieces before you order a single chair.
Zink Foodservice is the furniture & design representative for emu in Illinois and Wisconsin. One call reaches spec support, samples, local territory managers, and culinary centers where you can see it in person.

emu, answered.
Does Zink Foodservice represent emu in the Great Lakes?
Yes. Zink Foodservice is the furniture & design representative for emu in Illinois and Wisconsin. Your local territory manager is named on this page, or call 800.492.7400.
Where can I see emu in person?
At any of our eight culinary centers. They hold key items rather than every model — and we ship between centers — so tell us what you want to see and we will have it at the center nearest you. If it cooks, bring your menu and a chef will run it with you. There is no charge.
Can I buy emu directly from Zink Foodservice?
No, and that is by design. Operators buy through a dealer or distributor. Zink does the spec work, the samples and the test-kitchen time, and the purchase flows through the dealer you already use — which is why our involvement costs you nothing.
Who do I call when emu equipment needs service or warranty work?
Warranty work runs through emu's authorized service network. Start with Zink's service page and we will route you to the right agent for your area, usually the same day, or call 800.492.7400.
