About PFI
PFI, a member of the Grote Company Family of Brands, is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with manufacturing operations in Algona, Iowa. The business traces its roots back more than 60 years to the KOFAB and Meyer Industries lines, which were later unified under the PFI name. Today it operates as a family-owned enterprise led by CEO Bob Grote and COO Jack Grote, part of a multi-brand group that emphasizes shared engineering and support resources. The company designs and builds sanitary, custom-configured conveying and handling equipment for food processors. Its product lineup includes belt conveyors, bucket and incline conveyors, dumpers, horizontal motion conveyors, and vibratory conveyors and feeders. In addition to equipment manufacturing, PFI provides in-house installation, technical service, replacement parts such as belts, buckets, pulleys, and stainless-steel hydraulic cylinders, and maintenance training. The firm serves customers from two locations, integrating systems with other OEMs to deliver complete line solutions. PFI serves a broad range of food sectors, including bakery, candy and confectionery, cereal, dairy, frozen foods, fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry and seafood, nuts, pasta, pet food, ready-to-eat meals, and snack foods. Reference customers cited by the company include Hormel, a bakery processor, a snacks processor, and a large food processor, as well as Grillo's Pickles, which expanded production using integrated solutions from the Grote family of brands. PFI says its differentiation rests on five pillars: dependable solutions built for long-term viability, integration-ready designs that fit existing lines, sanitary construction that meets or exceeds regulations, a collaborative approach with customer teams and other OEMs, and a customer commitment that spans pre-project planning through post-installation support. Leadership attributes the company's culture to its family-run heritage, noting that the partnership with the Grote group was driven by aligned values as much as by capability fit.
