The Kaufmann Legacy began in 1927 when Alfred Kaufmann opened Lehigh Equipment on The Bowery in NYC. Almost 100 years later the Kaufmann name remains constant in the Metro NY food service equipment community with fourth-generation leadership on the rise.
In honor of the 3 generations that have served and continue to serve our wonderfully dynamic industry, and in celebration of the of the newest 4 th generation, we are proud to announce that Kaufmann and Associates will now be known as Succession Reps.
The renaming of Kaufmann and Associates to Succession Reps aligns with our commitment to enhanced communication, process improvements, and increased proactiveness to ensure successful growth for ourselves and industry partners.
