VALUES PPS focus is on a person’s abilities and placing them into positions within the workplace where they can be successful, while working in a safe and respectful environment.

WHAT WE DO PPS provides packaging assembly, kitting and sewing services to a wide array of customers. DID YOU KNOW? PPS came into existence in 1941 when Dr. Pollack recognized that patients with tuberculosis that he had cured were not being employed for fee of transmissibility. Therefore, he opened a business where these patients could perform work, sewing canvas and leather components for Caterpillar.
