The Future Is Functional: Designing the Next Generation of Kitchens

Today, we’re really excited to welcome someone who’s been shaping the commercial foodservice and appliance world for more than 25 years — Amir Girgis.

Amir is the President and Owner of Better Distribution, an independent distribution company that represents some of the top brands in the Canadian market — names like Kenyon Electric Cooktops & Grills, VarioCook, and RGX Kitchen Products. Through his leadership, Amir’s helped brands break into new markets, launch fresh product lines, and build strong partnerships that really move the needle.

Before running his own company, Amir was the Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Tulip Cooking, a premium appliance manufacturer. There, he led a dynamic team focused on expanding distribution, strengthening brand presence, and driving serious growth.

He also gives back to the industry as a member of the advisory board for RDRC, a residential dispute resolution center that helps people efficiently resolve construction and product-related disputes — so he’s not just focused on business growth, but also on helping the industry operate more fairly and effectively.

At the core of everything Amir does is a passion for innovation, sustainable growth, and building meaningful relationships — whether that’s with manufacturers, partners, or clients.

Kitchen appliances are evolving fast—getting smarter, more efficient, and designed to fit seamlessly into modern life. From connected cooking to sustainable features, these innovations are changing what consumers expect and how brands compete.

So, let’s dive in and hear from someone who truly knows what it takes to grow brands and build success in a changing market. Amir Girgis, welcome to the show!
