About K&D Factory Service

In 1945, as the United States celebrated the end of World War II, Bill Kraft and Spark Dixon founded K&D as a clock repair business. Over time, that work evolved into servicing kitchen equipment, laying the foundation for what would become one of Pennsylvania’s most established commercial foodservice equipment service providers.

After a period of growth, Spark Dixon retained the K&D name and continued expanding the business throughout Pennsylvania.

In 1963, Spark became a founding member of the Commercial Food Equipment Service Association (CFESA), helping establish K&D’s long-standing commitment to professionalism and technical excellence within the commercial foodservice industry.

By 1964, K&D had expanded into factory-authorized commercial equipment service and acquired the service division of a Pennsylvania utility company, allowing the business to grow into markets including Scranton, Lancaster, and Allentown.

In the decades that followed, K&D continued expanding service capabilities throughout Pennsylvania while remaining focused on dependable service and long-term customer relationships.

In 2021, K&D Factory Service became part of Unlimited Service Group, strengthening the company’s ability to support commercial kitchens with expanded resources while continuing its long-standing commitment to local service and technical expertise.

As we like to say at K&D:

“One Spark started it all, and it’s our job to keep the flame burning bright for generations to come.”
