In 1981 Ron & Linda Van Treese went out on their own and created Van Treese & Associates. The primary focus of the new company was Foodservice Equipment Sales & Service. Many lines of equipment were sold such as The Broaster Company, Vulcan Hart, Delfield and many other dealer lines. The company grew quickly and established itself as a known player in the Central Indiana Market.

As time passed the company found a niche in the equipment business with The Broaster Co., Coldelite Frozen Dessert Machines, Alto-Shaam Supermarket & C-Store Division and Rair Cooking Systems.

Many Sales & Service Schools have been attended by the staff of VTA, Inc. over the years, and we now have a combined 60 years experience in the Foodservice Industry.

Service is a must in today's marketplace and Jeff Van Treese holds his refrigeration license and has the necessary tools and equipment to service Specialty equipment. He has been with the company for over 28 years.

With Ron's passing in 1995, Linda became the full owner of the company. Jeff, Andy, Julie Van Treese Morgan and Linda Van Treese are the primary characters in Van Treese & Associates, Inc. A. J. Ragonesi and Rodney Parke have been delivering and providing outstanding customer service for the past seventeen years. Mark York joined the VTA Delivery Team this year!
