What Production and Process Technologies does

Production and Process Technologies (legal entity PPT Florida, Inc.) is a privately held, Palmetto, Florida-based design/build contractor and certified systems integrator founded in 1997. The company delivers complete process systems and automation solutions to manufacturers in food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater, food processing, and correctional facilities. Customers range from Fortune 500 industrial manufacturers to craft beverage and food startups, and PPT executes projects nationally across the United States despite operating from a single Florida headquarters and fabrication facility.

The company's core offering is a turn-key design/build delivery model in which every critical discipline is performed in-house — process engineering and P&ID development, project management, CAD/3D design, automation and controls integration, stainless steel skid fabrication, a UL 508A listed industrial control panel shop, certified welding and pipe-fitting (ASME BPE, AWS), licensed industrial electrical installation, and full commissioning and startup. On the automation side, PPT holds factory certifications from the three principal industrial software platforms: Rockwell Automation (Recognized System Integrator for the full FactoryTalk suite including Studio 5000 Logix Designer, FactoryTalk View, Batch, and Historian), Inductive Automation (Certified Ignition integrator with Perspective, Vision, Batch/MES, and OPC-UA/EtherNet/IP expertise), and AVEVA (Certified Wonderware integrator covering System Platform, InTouch, Historian, Batch, and Recipe Management). The company also maintains a Panduit certified installer credential for OT networking. Process specialties include ESL and aseptic processing, PMO-compliant heating, batching, CIP and SIP, filler integration, and packaging line integration, with regulatory compliance capabilities spanning 21 CFR Part 11, ISA S88 batch control, 3-A Sanitary Standards, ASME BPE, and ISNetworld A-rated contractor status.

PPT generates revenue primarily through project-based, quote-based engineering and construction contracts, typically structured as multi-year engagements covering greenfield facility builds, brownfield retrofits, and legacy PLC/HMI modernization. Revenue is recognized across four streams: (1) turn-key systems integration (design, fabricate, install, commission), (2) standalone automation and controls integration, (3) parts and OEM/aftermarket equipment sales, and (4) long-term support and managed services — including 24/7 remote monitoring, onsite preventive maintenance, and emergency response delivered by the same technicians who built the system. All demand generation funnels through direct engagement (website contact form, dedicated phone line, and LinkedIn), with no channel intermediaries, resellers, or marketplace listings. The firm does not disclose pricing publicly and reports no revenue figures externally.

Revenue model

1. Turn-key Systems Integration — Design/Build: Full-service design/build contractor delivering complete process systems. Revenue is generated from engineering design, fabrication, installation, and commissioning of process systems for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and water industries. Projects range from greenfield facility builds to brownfield retrofits. Revenue is project-based, one-time per engagement, with long-term support (maintenance, remote support, parts) providing recurring after-startup revenue.
2. Automation & Controls Integration: Design, programming, and commissioning of automation solutions for new installations and legacy system retrofits. Includes SCADA/HMI development, ISA S88 batch control, historian/reporting, and controls modernization. Provided as standalone services or as part of full turn-key project.
3. Parts & Equipment Sales: Direct access to OEM and aftermarket parts, with technical knowledge to spec the right components for each process. Sold to existing customers post-commissioning as a long-term support offering.
4. Long-Term Support & Maintenance: Remote technical support (24/7 monitoring), onsite preventive maintenance, and emergency response services provided by the same technicians who built the system. Generates recurring service revenue long after initial project commissioning.

Broad incumbents

• Krones AG: Krones is a global incumbent supplier of complete beverage processing and packaging lines (filler integration, ESL, aseptic systems) — overlaps with PPT's beverage and filler integration offerings, but at much larger scale and as equipment OEM rather than integrator.
• GEA Group: GEA is a global incumbent manufacturer of food processing and dairy equipment including separators, homogenizers, and aseptic processing lines — overlaps with PPT's dairy and food processing scope, but GEA also serves as a competitor on certain integrated process lines.
• Tetra Pak: Tetra Pak is a global incumbent supplier of integrated food, dairy, and beverage processing and packaging systems (UHT, aseptic, ESL) — overlaps with PPT's dairy and beverage processing capabilities, but Tetra Pak delivers turnkey processing equipment globally rather than as a systems integrator.
