Pfannenberg, Inc., a global manufacturer of thermal management, signaling technologies, and packaged process chillers, announces the 25th anniversary of its United States manufacturing operations. A celebratory event will be held on November 9th, 2022, from 12-5 p.m. at the company’s facility at 68 Ward Road, Lancaster, NY. The event will feature a buffet meal, factory tours, and presentations by Andreas Pfannenberg, Owner – of Pfannenberg Group, Tobias Merle, CEO – of Pfannenberg Group, Earl Rogalski, President – of Pfannenberg Sales America, and Ronald Ruffino, Lancaster Town Supervisor.

In announcing the celebration, Andreas Pfannenberg paid special tribute to the resources available in the Western New York Region that he says are a major contributor to the company’s success. “When we decided in the late 1990s to expand into North America from our roots in Germany, we understood that to successfully grow the business, products for North America needed to be designed and manufactured in North America.” He added, “The Buffalo area’s long and storied manufacturing history and reputation for a strong work ethic fit our needs and supports Pfannenberg’s high-quality reputation. Our North American growth is largely due to the willingness of the two cultures to work together in the spirit of learning.”

Tobias Merle added, “As a German family business, we are proud to develop and produce our thermal management products in Lancaster, NY. Known for offering unique value and the highest standards, our product solutions and services are trusted by some of the largest, well-known companies from around the world. Our success for the last 25 years is based on a long-term vision of growth built around high-quality products manufactured in America, our skilled employees, and our reputation as a trusted advisor to our customers. As we look forward, we welcome anyone who wants to be part of this journey for the next 25 years.”

Earl Rogalski, noted that it is an honor to be working alongside his Pfannenberg colleagues in the United States and around the world. “What makes this milestone achievement so special,” said Rogalski, “Is knowing the positive impact our colleagues are making and the solutions our products are providing – from critical life-saving infrastructure to clean drinking water. Few companies get an opportunity to celebrate 10 years, let alone 25 years. This is a fantastic achievement made possible by our dedicated and highly talented team.”
