Hormel Foods Recognizes PFI with Its Spirit of Excellence Supplier Award for 2024

PFI has been awarded the Spirit of Excellence Award by Hormel Foods again. Suppliers selected for the award have demonstrated the highest levels of technical and customer service, innovative solutions and improvements over the past year.

“Hormel has confidence in PFI due to our great partnership and PFI’s customer dedication,” said Melanie Senaratne, Corporate Communications, Hormel. “Having access to all the brands under the Grote Company Family of Brands umbrella increases PFI’s value, as Hormel can also rely on PFI’s sister brands, like SPI Automation and ProFab.”

PFI scored 93 for the year 2024, garnering points for its RTE design and attention to sanitation, its performance across a full spectrum of projects, from design to fabrication to installation, as well as customer service reliability.

“PFI is honored to once again receive Hormel’s Spirit of Excellence Supplier Award,” said Tom Vipond, Division General Manager, PFI. “Our thriving partnership with Hormel is a testament to our team’s dedication. I especially want to recognize team members Shane Peterson, Sales Manager, Frank Flores, Field Service Manager, and Jeremy Stover, Project Manager, who have gone above and beyond to deliver exceptional service to Hormel.”
