What our customers say

We have dealt with PPS for 25 years since they installed our original system, they have always been professional, quick to respond and helpful in maintaining our system. 

When we decided to investigate updating our system, they provided useful data on our existing and future possibilities.  This data along with their advice was superb. 

The new system has met our expectations. I would always recommend PPS.

John Gibson

Waddington & Ledger Group

I’ve worked with pneumatics but had no schematics for this particular application, so PPS helped us all the way through. I’m really impressed with the system; it lifts up easily and is set on a 360° revolving plate with wheels that also turn, which makes it easy to manoeuvre.

PPS were very helpful and supportive, sorting every problem in the process and taking the stress off me. Everything was spot on, I can’t fault PPS and I would highly recommend their services.

Connor Turner

Safe Stage Services

PPS are a great team to work with. I have peace of mind and working with them takes something off my plate. They leave me knowing it’s left in good hands and that I know I don’t have to worry about the compressors or the plant room.

Without the compressors we wouldn’t run, so working with a company that gives me no headaches is all you want.

Bob Holinski

Facilities & Engineering Manager, Cirteq Ltd

I was naturally nervous about replacing our complete pneumatic system during full production.

From our initial meetings, PPS were completely professional and remained so throughout the whole project – high levels of safety and courtesy were maintained. I had zero interruption to the plant, the engineers fully understood the needs of my plant and worked around us.

It was a completely painless project.
