The FPEC Story

American made quality since 1959

As a third generation, family owned business, we have dedicated ourselves to keeping our promise to engineer and produce reliable, custom designed machinery for the meat and food industries. Our equipment provides engineering differences that stand up to your bottom line and closest scrutiny

Our promise to you: only the finest quality materials are used, 100% stainless steel that is precision welded, not bolted, providing a strong, unibody construction in each piece.

Our story begins in 1959 when FPEC founders John H. Davison and Armond Villian were concerned about how food processing manufacturers were treating their customers. Unresponsive service, late equipment and a lack of innovation were part of a process they wanted no part of. These issues contributed to their desire to become game changers for the Food Processing Equipment industry.

So Davison and Villian took action. They designed a 20’ x 20’ FPEC sign and hung it on a metal shed located in the rear of a busy lumberyard in Bellflower, California in 1959. Their first big invention, the Pickle Injector!

But it wasn’t enough to design and manufacture food processing equipment. They wanted their customers to know that there was meaning, purpose, and dedication to everything they do from engineering to manufacturing. FPEC was not going to leave a customer behind or in the dark or to figure something out themselves. They will be with them for the long haul.

Business soon outgrew the humble beginnings of the small metal shed and in the fall of the founding year, FPEC moved to Vernon, California in a 1,500 square foot building in the lot behind a meat plant. Working closely with the meat plant enabled Davison and Villian to begin turning their focus to more complex innovations and equipment.
