About Us

The company is known for its knowledgeable support and reliable inventory across a curated portfolio of equipment manufacturers. 

A Window Into Our Past

 

The name and logo of Ventana, which means “window” in Spanish, was chosen to reflect the Hispanic culture and southwest them of the region and Arizona in particular.

Ventana Distributing was founded and incorporated by the ownership of Taylor Freezer Sales of Arizona (Taylor) in 1986. They were compelled to form a separate wholesale distribution channel to cater to the dramatic growth in the ice machine market in Arizona and thus Ventana Distributing Company was born.

Continual Growth

Ventana’s sales growth in Arizona has far exceeded the state of Arizona’s growth.  

Ventana is proud of its involvement during its early years with many new projects at that time in Arizona including the Princess Resort, US Airways Center (formerly America West Arena), and Chase Field (formerly Bank One Ballpark).  

We are also proud of our relationships with numerous sports arenas, Fox Restaurant Concepts, Phoenician Resort, Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa, Xanterra, Grand Canyon National Park, Burger King, McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Bashas Grocery Stores, just to name a few.

Today, Ventana Distributing continues to support the region’s dealers, service organizations, and operators by delivering dependable distribution, industry expertise, and the products needed to keep Arizona’s kitchens running efficiently.
