About this employer
P.P. Profiles Ltd began life in the basement of a cotton mill in Walkden, Greater Manchester, in 1976. Following two successful years of trading, P.P.

We quickly built a reputation as a reliable supplier of profiled carbon steel to the engineering industry and in 1986 began providing cutting solutions for stainless steel using plasma technology.
Together, we combine our pioneering technology in profiling and post-cutting services to provide the best “one stop” steel service available. Our highly trained and motivated staff enable us to deliver a truly exceptional service to our customers.
