PPT AIMS FOR 25% SHARE OF THE EUROPEAN VENT MARKET

Growth markets are 3G base stations, electromagnetic pulse screening of military vehicles. Supplies can be made direct from the factory or through the chain of established European agents, stockists and suppliers and it is through their enthusiasm in establishing these new opportunities that PPT is confident that its target of 25% of this market will be achieved within the next five years.

P&P Technology is reportedly one of the fastest growing RF shielding manufacturers in Europe, and over the last 15 years reckons to have taken 10% of the European market for customised radio frequency screening ventilators used on electronic equipment and racking required to meet EU Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards (EMC).

Over this time the V-Range" Ventshields have been subject to constant improvement in their design technology. Originally made of a specialised lightweight aluminium honeycomb retained in an extruded aluminium frame, which is still the most common form of construction. Alternative materials were then introduced including tin-plate, brass and galvanised construction together with air filtration materials, the use of woven aluminium and improved manufacturing processes both to enhance quality and as part of the PPT cost reduction programme.

The product alone would not have proved enough to achieve the consistent growth in this market sector, without the companys dedication to a rapid customer service performance.

PPTs objective is to constantly improve the attenuation properties of its products and to move from the conventional lead soldered honeycomb construction, into laser welding, using stainless steel as the base material and etching processes.
