What LloydPans does

LloydPans, Inc. is a Spokane Valley, Washington-based commercial baking equipment manufacturer founded in 1986 that designs, produces, and distributes pizza pans, bakeware, and foodservice equipment to commercial customers. The company operates a 104,000 sq ft ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing facility in Spokane Valley, WA, producing an extensive product portfolio organized into four categories: pizza tools (regional-style pans, deep dish stacking pans, Quik-Disks, cutting tools, peels, racks), foodservice equipment (oven grill pans, roasters, egg pans, gastronorm pans, commercial cookware), bakeware (cake, cheesecake, bread, cookie, pie, and tube pans), and custom manufacturing services. Its core technology is proprietary coating chemistry — PSTK (Pre-Seasoned Tuff-Kote), Dura-Kote, and Silver-Kote finishes — that provide easy-release and durability properties differentiated from commodity bakeware, and it offers custom-engineered pan dimensions for major chain customers' specific oven cavities.

The company runs a sales-led, B2B go-to-market with multiple distribution channels: direct e-commerce, phone-based sales (800-748-6251), a B2B company account system with quoting functionality, distributor/wholesale relationships with volume discounts, and worldwide shipping. Customer segments span independent and chain pizzerias (including work on Detroit-style, Chicago deep dish, Sicilian, Roman Al Taglio, Grandma, and other regional styles), commercial bakeries, foodservice and hospitality (hotels, hospitals, schools), and custom manufacturing clients in the food industry. LloydPans maintains a sister-company relationship with Spring USA and is a member of industry associations including BEMA, RBA, NACS, and the World Pizza Champions / U.S. Pizza Team. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership or funding history, and pricing is quote-based with promotional discounting and volume tiers rather than fixed list pricing.
