Kice Industries is a manufacturer and engineering firm with a heritage rooted in early 20th-century metalwork and industrial innovation. The company traces its origins to J.W. “Bill” Kice, who founded Kice Metal Products Company in 1946 after a long career in sheet metal millwork and air system invention. The business evolved from family-owned metal fabrication into a dedicated manufacturer of bulk material handling equipment, with a core emphasis on air systems, automation, and engineering. Over more than 75 years, Kice has developed a comprehensive portfolio that encompasses dust collection, pneumatic conveying, and particle separation systems, all designed and built in-house at its Park City, Kansas facility. This in-house manufacturing capability underscores Kice’s commitment to control over quality, performance, and system integration across its product lines. The company’s history includes notable innovations such as the Kice-Type long-cone, scroll-entry cyclone collector and the Kice Multi-Aspirator, with its long-standing role in improving efficiency and reliability for mills and other processing facilities. Kice’s early adoption of advanced airflow principles and its precision engineering approach have enabled it to serve a wide range of industries, including flour milling, oilseed processing, biomass, and various dry bulk material sectors. In recent decades, Kice has continued to expand its engineering and fabrication capabilities to provide complete process solutions—from upgrading existing equipment to constructing full plant facilities—and offers testing options to validate performance for potential clients. The company emphasizes its ability to move large volumes of material with energy-efficient air systems, negative air solutions for cooling and dust control, and robust separators designed for high-throughput environments. Kice positions itself as a partner that can tailor solutions to virtually any free-flowing commodity, including minerals, grains, cereals, seeds, chemicals, and fertilizers, highlighting its flexibility to address diverse customer needs. The corporate ethos centers on engineering craft, customer service, and a legacy of family leadership that continues to guide product development and market expansion. With an established reputation in the United States and a growing reach in global markets, Kice aims to maintain its leadership in industrial air systems, automation, and material handling, leveraging its historical strengths while pursuing ongoing innovations in filtration, separation efficiency, and process control. The future outlook emphasizes continued development of integrated systems that improve efficiency, reduce variability, and enhance overall plant reliability for customers across food processing, biomass, and other bulk material industries. Kice’s emphasis on testable solutions, in-house manufacturing, and a history of innovation positions the company to advance its capabilities in automation, controls, and end-to-end plant design.
