The Portland Kettle Works story
Portland Kettle Works was founded in 2011 to offer new solutions to the burgeoning craft beverage industry, and built a reputation on high standards, innovative process engineering, and a mission to provide clients with superior, domestically manufactured liquid processing systems.
Over the years, our innovative approach and excellence in precision engineering of stainless steel vessels expanded to industrial / chemical and life science companies seeking custom design work and superior end products for mixing, agitation, extraction or pumping and flow control.
PKW now proudly manufactures end-to-end systems for an extensive list of sub-sectors including all categories of beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fertilizer, protein synthesis, and adhesives. Our clients run the gamut from startups through Fortune 500 Companies.
We owe our experience to countless hours touring production facilities around the globe, working side by side with our clients to build to spec, and expertly installing over 5,000 complex systems worldwide.
“Clients view us as their creative partner,” says Thad Fisco, PKW founder. “We established PKW not just to manufacture hardware but to accelerate our clients through innovation.”
Portland Kettle Works manufacturers in Portland, Oregon. The company also owns and operates Mixing Tanks USA, Zwickler Hardware, a componentry, parts and equipment shop, and PKW Used Beverage Equipment which decommissions and sells certified used beverage systems.
