CAD Management
Our custom-built production management system minimises errors and boosts efficiency. Rigorous secondary checks ensure drawings and nests are only released with complete accuracy. Automatic transfer of information from point of entry to all necessary operatives guarantees traceability and error prevention, while live planning delivers accurate lead times and proactive delay detection keeping you fully informed.
Precision Cutting Backed By Ongoing Investment
Our robust investment policy equips skilled staff with state-of-the-art machinery. ERP and production systems integrated with handheld devices on the factory floor provide operators with accurate, real-time information. Centralising critical decisions in the office eliminates production errors, ensuring a smooth, error-free process.
Accurate Labelling And Delivery
All parts are automatically labelled with accurate data from our in-house developed ERP, ensuring complete traceability before dispatch via our dedicated delivery fleet.
Constant Improvement Driven By Software Development
Feedback is gathered at every stage to identify improvements to our in-house developed ERP and Production Management systems that can positively impact your next order, ensuring we exceed expectations. Errors or complaints are thoroughly investigated to identify root causes and implement long-term solutions, with a focus on streamlining manual procedures through automation to enhance efficiency, and prevent errors.
Explore Our Services
Profiling Services
Using the latest metal profiling machinery and technology along with highly trained engineers and a supply chain built over 50 years, we deliver projects with accuracy every time for any job.
Laser Cutting
Benefit from the most technologically advanced fibre laser machines capable of highly accurate, quality cuts with tight tolerances.
Water Jet Cutting
Get the best, cleanest, most accurate finishes with minimal taper and no heat affected zones that can eliminate many secondary operations.
Flame Cutting
Cut through thicknesses beyond the capability of plasma and laser cutting with higher flatness tolerances. Guaranteed fast turnaround.
Plasma Cutting
Advanced profiling capabilities guarantee a high quality finish for profiles up to 40mm thickness while remaining cost effective.
Saw Cutting
For customers looking for a clean, square edge outside the limits of laser cutting, saw cutting provides the most practical solution, delivering results at a lower cost than water jet cutting.
Processing Services
Advanced machinery combined with a comprehensive tooling library and 3D programming software compatibility means we can deliver the most complex components quickly to customers.
Press Braking
CNC press brakes can handle the most complex metal bending requirements with precision to deliver complex projects with ease.
Plate Rolling
With the latest technology, personnel and machinery you’re assured of clean rolls with additional cutting to aid assembly.
Edge Prepping
Save time on the welding process with edge prepping services. All standard weld preps and bevel angles up to 55° and to plate thickness of up to 50mm.
Heat Treatment
Post-cutting and pre-grinding heat treatment reduce heat affected zones to retain the property and microstructure of any metal we use for your project.
Grinding
Grind standard thickness sheet and plate to your custom thickness able to work close to tolerances, saving you valuable machining time and reducing costs.
Materials
As one of the largest profiling and processing companies in the UK, we have an inventory of extensive supplies of carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, super duplex, aluminium and nickel alloys.
Stainless Steel
Access the most extensive stock range available in Europe on stainless steel stocks up to 150mm thick.
Carbon Steel
A versatile and robust material coupled with our precision profiling and processing ensures high edge quality and short lead times for even complex projects.
Aluminium
Precision profiling and processing for end products with high corrosion resistance and high strength to weight ratio for a range of applications.
Nickel Alloy
Nickel alloys are vital in high-performance environments such as aerospace, chemical processing, marine, and power generation.
Yellow Metals
With our state-of-the-art cutting machines we can cut copper, bronze and brass quickly and with precision to reduce lead times.

Delivering Quality Products With Precision For Decades
"P.P. Group offered a completely different approach to our standard manufacturing methods. Adopting the latest advances in CAD software and profiling technology helped us to reduce costs and dramatically increase profitability. I would highly recommend contacting one of their Sales team to discuss what benefits P.P. Group’s advanced CAD and cutting technologies can bring to your business."
“P.P. Group managed to profile and deliver 75 tonnes of parts within five working days, which enabled us to meet and exceed our project’s deadlines. In addition, we saved significant time on drilling due to 40 mm cut holes, provided by P.P. Group during this task.
This truly flexible and swift approach, enabled us to deliver all the tunnel cutting machines for the construction of railway lines on time.”
“P.P. Group's advanced facilities and machinery enabled us to successfully manufacture a very complex baggage shield that weighed 76 tonnes for Heathrow Airport Terminal 5.”
“P.P. Group was able to supply us with materials, to manufacture six stainless steel filters, for the waste water industry. Each of these filters was 14 m x 4 m x 6.5 m high, consisting of thousands of profiles/parts, which were laser and water jet cut, as well as rolled and pressed; in as little as just four months. Due to the short lead time of such a large order, the project won a recognised global award.”
