ATECH Wins National Award for Hiring, Training Veterans

Nashville, Tenn.-based ATECH, a restaurant equipment parts and service provider, has been awarded the U.S. Department of Labor’s HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award for the third consecutive year.

The award is the only federal-level veterans’ employment award that recognizes an organization’s commitment to veteran hiring, retention and professional development. To qualify, ATECH met and surpassed the required percentage of veteran new hires in 2021.

“Our veteran colleagues bring skills and experience to the table that cannot be taught in any other way than military service,” says Charlie Kunberger, COO at ATECH, in a press release. “Their work ethic, discipline and determination provide our commercial kitchen clients with impeccable customer service while also setting new standards of personal and professional growth for every one of us at ATECH.”

Established in 1990, ATECH is a family-owned company servicing Tennessee and parts of Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. ATECH operates with a CFESA Level 3 certification, the highest level of accreditation given by the association.
