Tabletop & Smallwares · Represented in 5 states
Mercer Culinary, represented by Zink Foodservice.
A cook's knife is the most personal tool in the building, and Mercer Culinary has built its name putting good ones in working hands — in restaurant kitchens and in the culinary schools where careers start. The line runs from cutlery and sharpening gear to smallwares and apparel, and Barfy by Mercer carries the same craft to the barware side of the house.
Zink Foodservice is the tabletop & smallwares representative for Mercer Culinary in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Wisconsin. One call reaches spec support, samples, local territory managers, and culinary centers where you can see it in person.

Mercer Culinary, answered.
Does Zink Foodservice represent Mercer Culinary in the Great Lakes?
Yes. Zink Foodservice is the tabletop & smallwares representative for Mercer Culinary in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Wisconsin. Your local territory manager is named on this page, or call 800.492.7400.
Where can I see Mercer Culinary 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 Mercer Culinary 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 Mercer Culinary equipment needs service or warranty work?
Warranty work runs through Mercer Culinary'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.
