Our Pets

The real reason we leave on time

The Faces Waiting for Us at Home

When the workday ends, these are the faces we come home to. While we’re busy designing, building, installing, selling, and keeping the wheels turning behind the scenes, they’re patiently waiting (well, sometimes patiently) for dinner, a walk, or attention.

From wagging tails to judgmental glares, our pets bring joy, chaos, and unconditional enthusiasm to our lives. This page exists simply to celebrate them because any excuse to share pet photos is a good one.

Mighty Maxine

Maxine (Max) is a sweet southern girl with a sassy sense of humor. She is one of the loving pets from Cori in our Graphic Production team.

Max enjoys going on adventures with her sister Eleanore and snuggling with her cat brothers and is always up for a good treat if you have one.

On occasion you may even see Max inside FCI, as she visits to check on what Cori is up to.

Max loves a good sausage of any flavor, so her favorite FCI product is the FOODPROS 8055 Rollergrill. Because of its extended capacity, the FoodPROS 8055 she has more sausages to choose from.

She is more than happy to assist you with any sausage cooking and tasting activities.

Starchy

the Loaf of Bread Dog

Starchy is the dog of Heather from our Design Department. Being an adorable Corgi means three things:

• Starchy is adorable and yet a menace to society
• Starchy is loving and yet has an extremely judgmental side eye
• Starchy is the dog equivalent to a loaf of bread

But just because he looks like a loaf of bread and has “starch” in his name doesn’t mean he doesn’t know a good time. He loves to play tug and herd with the whole family.

It may not surprise you, but Starchy’s favorite FCI product is the APW Wyott BW Series Temperature Control Bun Warmer. Starchy knows how much better bread is when it is warm. See it in our Ultimate Roller Grill Setup and available at FoodPROS.com.

Meet Moose

When Moose isn’t sunbathing by the window waiting for his Graphic Designer mom to get home from work, he’s busy proving to everyone how much he loves the snow. Good thing Wisconsin is known for it’s long and snowy winters.

He eagerly greets his mom every day after work and settles in for snuggles, knowing he’s going to get an earful of all the fun design projects his mom worked on that day. He enjoys long walks at Devil’s Lake on weekends, followed by a chewy snack and belly rubs at home.

And Moose is TikTok famous! Join his more than 14,000 followers.

Since Moose loves the cold so much, his favorite FCI product is one of the fine ice makers we offer, like the Follet 15 Series. See it in our Best In Class Iced Coffee and Nitro Cold Brew setups.

Lazy Po

Po is the cat of one of our designers. Since being rescued, she has enjoyed being lazy and chillin’ in the sun.

While snuggles are what makes her happiest, she does love a good Churu cat treat.

Po is very affectionate to other people but is jealous toward other cats. She will not stand for any competition for the attention she deserves!

Being a tuxedo cat, Po is definitely stylish but she also wants to put in as little effort as possible. That is why her favorite FCI product is the EZ-Tilt Sneeze Guard™.

Why put in extra energy trying to clean when you can just tilt back the glass and wipe your roller grill clean? …and the EZ-Tilt definitely has style as well.
