PP C & A signals £ 100m global expansion with new acquisition push
Global expansion is on the agenda for one of the UK’ s leading manufacturing outsourcing specialists after it announced a major acquisition drive.
PP Control & Automation, which works with over 20 of the world’ s leading machinery builders, is heading towards a record £ 40m sales in 2026, with the longer-term aim of hitting £ 100m within four years.
This growth will be achieved both through organic opportunities in clean energy, defence and life sciences and the potential purchasing of complementary manufacturing companies in Europe, the US and Asia.
The M & A activity will be led by new CEO Pinaki Banerjee, with discussions already taking place with targets in Italy, Eastern Europe, India, and the United States.
“ 2025 brought with it a lot of global economic challenges, yet we still managed to achieve strong performance across new sectors and put in place foundations to achieve over £ 40m sales over the next twelve months,” explained
Pinaki, who previously held global roles at Rubix, Hoffman Group and Pilkington.
“ Our £ 40m target is based on high confidence in the sales pipeline and positive market signals in segments we’ ve identified for growth in the UK. Our higher growth ambitions will come from international markets and customers looking for a trusted partner that offers world class performance and the ability to scale quickly / bring new technologies to market.”
He continued:“ Acquisitions will form a big part of our approach.
