P-PHS Born of Marine Handling Consolidation

01 Apr 2003

Parkburn Precision Handling Systems Limited (P-PHS) is a new name but an experienced player which now encompasses the traditional 30 year class heritage of the Dowty brand naval and commercial handling systems as well as the recently acquired company IPR and service rights of Marine Projects Developments Limited.

P-PHS employees display the new corporate livery in front of an A-Frame shipborne launch and recovery system awaiting delivery.

Born through this acquisition by Parkburn, the now merged businesses of Precision Handling Systems, Parkburn Controls Limited, and Parkburn Engineering Services consolidates Parkburn's position in the commercial marine and offshore markets as a supplier of specialised handling systems plus related ancillary equipment and services.

P-PHS will be headquartered in Hamilton, Scotland and will maintain current site facilities at both Hamilton and Newmilns in Scotland with Wolverhampton in England being the centre of complete systems manufacturing and business development.
