Amber Green Corporation

What Amber Green Corporation does

Amber Green Corporation operates commercially as Abby's Catering, a privately held Houston-based food service company founded in 1980 (originally as Abby's Aircraft Catering). The company delivers diversified catering and food management services through five core lines: Executive Inflight Catering (private, chartered, and corporate aircraft), Commercial Inflight Catering (scheduled airlines including British Airways and Sun Country), Corporate Catering (Fortune 500 event and office catering in the Houston metro), Event Catering (weddings, receptions, banquets), and Food Service Management (on-site cafeteria operations for Houston-area companies and institutions). A sub-brand, Jacqui's Gourmet, extends the company into specialty gourmet products. Services are produced from a single Houston production facility at 2700 Greens Rd. and delivered directly to airports (IAH, Hobby), corporate offices, and event venues across the Houston metropolitan area and the broader Southwest.

The business model is predominantly transaction-fee (per-flight, per-event) with managed-services contracts for on-site cafeteria work. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; orders are placed through a toll-free customer support line (1-888-983-4125), dedicated email channels, or account management relationships. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting aviation operators (Atlantic Aviation, Wing Aviation, Air Culinaire, Jet Aviation, Solarius Aviation), corporate accounts (HP, Wartsila, Flotek), institutional clients (Lone Star College across multiple campuses), and hospitality partners (Marriott/SpringHill Suites). Marketing relies on direct relationships, word-of-mouth referrals, and a digital presence spanning the company website, social media (Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), and an email newsletter.

The company maintains memberships across aviation, catering, and Houston business associations (NBAA, NACE, ICA, WAI, GHRA, TRA, GHP, HRAP, HHCC, NWHCC) and holds CFSP certification for food service professionals. No patents, awards, regulatory actions, funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or technology stack details are disclosed. The company remains independently owned with no parent entity or institutional investor identified.
