Hi all, my name is Brian,

I'm new to the forum, and new to the chocolate business. I'm excited to say that I'm in the process of starting an online chocolate business of my own, focused mostly on chocolate designs, custom as well as a library. Eventually I'm planning on expanding into Bean to Bar production.

Anyway, I'm at the information gathering stage and putting my business/financial proposal together (I will be posting a lot more questions as I go, and as I learn stuff, will try to share as much as possible as well). I was wondering if someone could post contact information for dealers of all the major chocolate equipment manufacturers in one place? Possibly within this post? I thought it would be nice so it would be easier for us to track down. I'm located in the U.S. (Specifically Los Angeles). But, I'm sure it would be great if the info could include dealers from around the world for others to make good use of as well.

Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

That's a great start, although I was looking more for tempering equipment, any and all sources I think would be welcome in one spot.
