It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Bruce Frisby.
Bruce is the reason this company exists. In 1971 he quit his job as an engineer and bravely decided to start out on his own.
One of his larger companies was Pedigree Petfoods based in Melton Mowbray and Peterborough. They decided to stick with Bruce and so began the journey into Extruder equipment. The business evolved into a true family affair. Initially his wife Pauline joined him on the journey and, as soon as he was able, his son was employed and undertook training as an engineer. Later on his daughter in law Katie also became part of the team.
Bruce retired from the business in about 2013 - mainly due to health reasons. However, he still took an active interest in it whenever he could. Only a couple of weeks ago he was asking Matthew how business was going.
Bruce travelled the world meeting large companies and selling them Extruder equipment - from fish food, cereal, snack food, pet food to peat manufacturers, natural gas and plastics.
We can honestly say Bruce loved everything about Extruders and during his working day was seen as quite the expert.
We will miss him greatly within our lives and business.
