Hormel Foods Awards PFI Spirit of Excellence Award

In recognition of our support, service, and equipment installs throughout 2021.

Once again, PFI has been awarded Hormel Foods Spirits of Excellence Award, bestowed upon suppliers that demonstrate the highest levels of quality, delivery, service, and customer support.

In 2021, PFI installed vibratory feeders and platforms for two of Hormel’s high-speed pepperoni lines at its Papillion, Nebraska-based plant, among other equipment and service support.

“PFI’s equipment is food safe and easy to clean,” said Kari Hubley, Associate Maintenance Engineer, Hormel Foods. “They drop everything to get our plants up and running. The flexibility, support, and trust are invaluable.”

Suppliers that qualified for the Spirit of Excellence Award maintained a minimum supplier rating index score based on performance, ontime delivery, and high levels of customer support. The minimum score for winners is 92 throughout a 12-month period. PFI scored a 98.

“PFI is so honored to receive this award once again,” said Jeremy Stover, technical applications manager for Hormel, PFI. “We take what we do seriously. Our team strives to be the gold standard in the industry. To be recognized by a global processor like Hormel validates our efforts. We look forward to continuing to work with Hormel and its brands for years to come.”
