Why choose a career with PPE?

Elastomer (rubber) seals touch every aspect of our lives. With increasing technical demands on these components, recent material developments have transformed the properties, and therefore the opportunities, for these polymers. PPE's typical customers are at the cutting edge of their own industries, usually with a need to get the maximum performance and value out of every component and aspect of their product.

PPE is active in the high-specification end of elastomers .
Most of our production is used within the Europe, USA and Asia by customers involved in the most exciting and fast moving industries:-

Semi-conductor manufacturing, biomedical companies, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, power generation, specialist automotive and aerospace customers are amongst those who rely on PPE for elastomer parts in modern materials combined with advanced design solutions.

 

PPE's 3,500 sq.m. Blackburn factory .
Purpose-built on part of PPE's 4-acre site and opened in 2003, it contains an extensive clean room for the manufacture of critical parts – pivotal to the company's ability to provide an increasingly pure product. Stage 2 of the development of the site to help us achieve our 2011 plans is already underway. (Take a look around our facilities).

PPE needs people who want to develop themselves, who want to make a difference, and who enjoy seeing their ideas and efforts become reality. As part of this growth, we are always on the look-out for process engineers, material experts, quality experts who can contribute dynamic-thinking and innovation to our manufacturing processes. We’re always interested in talking with sales engineers based in the UK, across Europe and in the USA and Asia who are looking for new career challenges with demanding customers in English and non-English speaking environments.

If you want your career to take off with a progressive company like PPE and if you know that you can make a positive contribution to the team, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
