History:

In 1971, Enviromatic Corporation of America® (Viro) began with the idea that cleaning and servicing grease exhaust systems should be done to the highest and most exacting industry standards.

Today, Enviromatic has gone further than any other company with our Roto-Steamcleaning division and world-renowned Envirospection Nationwide Inspection Program, setting the quality standards for the entire industry.

With its strong foundation in Minneapolis, MN, Enviromatic began to expand in the 90's with the 1995 acquisition of the Blower Balancing and Repair Company and the opening of the Des Moines, St. Louis and Kansas City branches. In 2003, the acquisition of Majestic Cleaning of Rockford, IL extended Enviromatic eastward and led to additional shops being opened in:

     Houston, Texas
     Lombard, IL
     Dallas, Texas
     Denver, Colorado
     Atlanta, Georgia
     Columbus, Ohio

Viro continues to break new ground in the kitchen grease exhaust field with the development of the Viroguard® Rooftop Grease Retention System, our Chemical Division, Parts Division, and Roto-Steamcleaning and Powerwashing and most recently, the Envirospection grease exhaust system inspection program.

Enviromatic Roto-steamcleaning® and Powerwashing division services kitchen hoods and grease exhaust vent systems in a 28-state area: MN, ND, SD, WI, IA, MI, IL, MO, KS, NE, FL, CO, IN, AR, OK, TX, MS, OH, KY, TN, GA, AL, LA, NC, SC, VA, PA, WY

Envirospection® services, Viroguard® rooftop containment systems, Virospec parts, and Virochem Chemicals are available nationwide.

Who's Who:

Enviromatic is a family-led corporation whose 4 top management team members have a combined 128 years of grease exhaust vent cleaning experience.

Owner and CEO Larry Pfleiderer purchased Enviromatic in 1973. A leader far ahead of his time in the industry, Larry's original innovations in cleaning, customer service, scheduling, quality control procedures, and designs are the foundation for the equipment and management that Enviromatic uses today and have become industry standards for cleaning grease exhaust vent systems.

Company President Don Pfleiderer began in 1974. Don is directly involved in the management of the company, leading Enviromatic into the future. He prides himself on knowing and interacting with the customers directly and is intimately involved in customer service, consulting, and hospitality/restaurant association duties. Don also does nationwide training seminars for various restaurant associations, restaurant management teams and fire inspectors including the Minnesota building code official annual conference. His accomplishments include the development and patent of the world-renowned "Viroguard" grease containment system and the development and implementation of the Envirospection Nationwide Inspection program for grease exhaust systems. Don is also a member of the IKECA Standards Development Committee Consensus Body for developing new ANSI standards for kitchen hoods and grease exhaust vent systems.
