Founded in 1991 in Prairie View, Kansas, PVI began with a clear purpose: to design and manufacture high-quality, all-aluminum products that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. From those humble beginnings to our nearly 200,000-square-foot facility in Fairbury, Nebraska, we have grown into the leading global manufacturer of high-quality aluminum wheelchair ramps and the premier designer of food service equipment in the United States.

While much has changed over the years, two things have remained constant—our commitment to quality and our dedication to family values. Every product we build reflects our belief that craftsmanship, durability, and thoughtful design matter. Whether helping individuals lead more active and productive lifestyles or supporting food service professionals with dependable equipment, we are proud to break down barriers and deliver solutions that perform.

Today, PVI Manufacturing LLC operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Dutton-Lainson Company, a family-owned business headquartered in Hastings, Nebraska, since 1886. This transition followed a planned retirement by our former owner, who was deeply committed to ensuring PVI’s long-term success and continued operation in Fairbury. We are honored to carry that legacy forward.

What does this mean for our customers and partners? Simply put—business as usual. You can expect the same trusted products, the same commitment to quality, and the same responsive service you rely on today. Our day-to-day operations remain unchanged, and our focus continues to be on reliability, innovation, and long-term relationships.

At PVI, the future is bright. We remain dedicated to developing new products, continually improving our existing lines, and upholding the standards that have defined us since 1991. As we look ahead, our mission remains the same: to build quality products that empower people and support the industries we serve.
