Equipment and Concepts is an educational facility and nationwide distributor of fine Italian equipment for gelato and confectionary items.  More than an equipment distributor, we strongly believe in the education process that must precede starting a business in the frozen dessert industry.  We are home to Gelato Master Maria Coassin’s 2-day artisanal gelato and ice cream course.  Our classes with Maria are sought after as a premier learning experience that is uniquely dedicated to the fine art of gelato and ice cream. Maria has owned and operated Gelatiamo in Seattle, WA since 1996 which is arguably one of the most successful gelaterias in North America. Students thoroughly enjoy the privilege of learning from a business owner who shares her insights into this booming industry that they won’t hear anywhere else. The classes are geared toward those who are brand new to the industry as well as those who are already making product but would like to perfect their craft.
