About P.P. Group

History and structure

Founded in Walkden in 1976, P.P. Group began life in the basement of a cotton mill and has grown in to one of the UK’s leading independent profiling and processing companies; operating from a 110,000 sq. ft. premises on a 6.5-acre site at Drury Lane, in Oldham (Greater Manchester). P.P. Group provides diverse, high-quality profiling and processing services across a vast range of industries. Our commitment to innovative technology and machinery, partnered with some of the most knowledgeable and experienced employees in the business, has earned us an outstanding reputation for reliability and honest service.

There were three divisions that made up the P.P. Group:

P.P. Plasma – our Stainless, Aluminium and Special Metals division
P.P. Profiles – our Carbon Steel division
P.P. Processing – our Processing, Fabrication and Manufacturing division

On the 1st September 2018 the three divisions merged to form The P.P. Group of Companies Ltd.

Together we have rebranded, restructured and relocated, to give us a strong group identity and allow the P.P. Group potential to be identified and realised. We believe that although we have accomplished much separately, working together we can be more than the sum of our parts; our goal is to create more recognition as a group and to enhance what we are capable of realising.
By offering internal support to each other we will enable growth, both individually and collectively, allowing our brand to flourish as a leading manufacturer in the north of England. Trading as one company will also provide an improved experience for customers as all the different products and services will be received from a single supplier instead of three.
