Manufacturer of commercial equipment for processing potatoes and other food, Vanmark, said recently that installation services had been added to its menu of offerings.

As a result, customers now can buy Vanmark equipment and have the company install it in their facilities. PFI, a sibling company of Vanmark, provides installation services.

“Now you can rely on one team to provide best-in-class equipment and install it. Vanmark now installs our peelers, hydrocutters, and all supporting transferring and storage equipment. We work seamlessly with our sister company PFI to get your operation up and running fast,” Jack Grote, sales manager of, Vanmark said, cited in a recent press release.

Vanmark can now handle any rigging, assembly, welding, and field fabrication required to finish the installation. These characteristics also apply to other installation-related devices, irrespective of the manufacturer. When making a purchase, customers can request a price for the services.

“The relationship between Vanmark and PFI under the Grote Company umbrella allows for this integration, which results in our ability to provide more complete solutions to support the core processes on our customers’ production lines,” Bob Grote, chief executive officer, of Grote Company, concluded.
