A WORD FROM OUR CEO, BOB GROTE

I am truly excited to have PFI on the ever-growing Grote team. Their history, expertise, quality, and relentless customer focus dovetails precisely with how our family-run business operates.

PFI’s sanitary conveyance solutions fit a strong need in the food processing industry to keep food safe and equipment clean and verifiable, as automation continues to be embraced globally. Their equipment also allows us to offer more complete solutions to our customer base.

While there is a capability fit, there is a culture and values fit that matters just as much.

We have long histories – from 50 to 75+ years – of being committed to our customers, employees, and communities. We collaborate as one team to solve tough problems. We proudly serve not only the equipment we build but also the people who operate and depend on it.

Let’s continue to feed our growing world – together.
