As seen in the Tried & True <\/em>Summer 2024 issue<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, Jon Pfeifer laid the foundation for PNA Drainage in Richland, Iowa out of a passion for drainage and a wealth of experience in the field. Over the past decade, with a dedicated crew of three, they\u2019ve laid an estimated 2.5 million feet of pipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The road to success was bumpy at first, marred by challenges with suppliers that couldn\u2019t deliver the right materials or in some cases deliver on time. Jon switched to Fratco after a recommendation from a friend, he noted to us, \u201cIt was easy to transition to Fratco, they go out of their way to help me succeed in my business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on the growth of both companies, Jon notes, \u201cIt\u2019s been pretty nice watching them [Fratco] grow as I\u2019ve grown.\u201d Jon noted how busy Fratco\u2019s Mt. Pleasant location has become explaining that today there are almost always a few other customers there to pick up materials.  This mutual growth isn\u2019t just about business expansion; it\u2019s a testament to the relationship PNA Drainage and Fratco have cultivated, growing side by side for years, with more to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central to PNA Drainage\u2019s ethos is a principle that Jon has always stood by: \u201cQuality not quantity.\u201d This philosophy isn\u2019t about cutting corners to increase output. Instead, it\u2019s about meticulous attention to detail and ensuring that each job is done correctly the first time. This approach not only saves time but also builds a reliable reputation, allowing PNA to help more customers effectively. Jon\u2019s commitment to this principle has been a critical factor in PNA Drainage\u2019s success, emphasizing the importance of quality in building a sustainable business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a family-oriented business\u2013they know my name\u2013you don\u2019t get that anywhere else,\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jon pointed out, emphasizing his personal relationship with Fratco. This level of personal recognition and familiarity is rare in the industry and highlights the strong community ties within the Fratco network. For Jon, this isn\u2019t just about business transactions; it\u2019s about being part of a community that values and supports its members on a personal level. He remarks that the Mt. Pleasant Fratco team knows him well enough that they know exactly what materials and products he needs on a regular basis, and they\u2019re always ready to deliver.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relationship between Fratco and PNA has also helped improve PNA\u2019s customer relations with farmers through Fratco\u2019s quality pipe. Jon explained that when Flexcorr first came out, Kiley Miller, one of our proud Fratco salesmen, recommended it for a specific job that Jon was struggling to solve in a cost-efficient way. While he was hesitant to use a new product at first, Flexcorr proved to be a highly efficient solution not just for PNA but for the farmer as well. \u201cIt just has great flow rate compared to traditional single-wall,\u201d Jon told us. He went on to explain that he has used Flexcorr consistently since that job, and it\u2019s proven its worth time and time again. For Jon and PNA, Flexcorr \u201cchanged the industry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While PNA Drainage may seem small to some, Jon is quite proud of the work they do. Jon told us about the possibility of some small expansions on the horizon but PNA Drainage isn\u2019t looking to spread too thin. Jon wants their work to be done right, so PNA won\u2019t expand until he\u2019s confident they can do it right. PNA Drainage at its heart is a family business, and the future looks bright for them as Jon laughs saying, \u201cWell, my son\u2019s five and can run an excavator.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon Pfeifer\u2019s leadership at PNA Drainage serves as a compelling testament to the benefits of forging strong partnerships and maintaining a commitment to quality. Jon consistently recommends others in his area to Fratco, connecting them with salesmen, and continuing to grow the Fratco family. Within a community that prioritizes hard work and integrity, PNA Drainage emerges as a distinguished example of excellence, driven by Jon\u2019s clear vision and dedicated approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
