John Scott Works

What John Scott Works does

John Scott Works Ltd. is a UK specialist in the design, manufacture, and installation of custom-made mezzanine floors, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Netherlands-based PRN Group. Founded on 1 January 2017 and headquartered at a modern factory in Wolverhampton (Hilton Cross Business Park), the company serves businesses across the UK and Ireland — including storage and logistics (notably 3PL operators), retail showrooms, offices, e-commerce warehouses, system integrators, and industrial/leisure facilities — that need to expand usable floor space without relocating or extending their building. Its largest known project is a 54,000 sqm four-tier mezzanine for a 3PL customer, and it currently delivers approximately 400 mezzanine projects per year.

The company's core technology is cold roll forming combined with in-house robot welding to produce CE-marked structural steel components, supported by HiCAD 3D engineering software and compliance with EN ISO 9001, ISO 3834 (welding quality), and EN 1090 (structural steel). Differentiated proprietary offerings include a cold-formed steel mezzanine system positioned as a cost-effective alternative to hot-rolled designs, the PRO-SPAN P6 decking finish (R10 anti-slip, Bfl-s1 fire retardant, exclusive to PRN Group in Europe), and a space-saving side-mounted handrail with integrated LED lighting. Technical range extends to column grids of up to 18 metres and load capacities above 4,000 kg/sqm.

Revenue is generated through one-time project-based sales of custom mezzanine solutions (including a self-install mezzanine kit variant), priced on a unit basis at approximately £100 per square metre on the most economical grid, with load capacity, floor finish, accessories (pallet gates, handrails, stairs), and multi-tier configurations driving variability. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining a technical sales team doing on-site consultation, a self-serve online three-step quote configurator on the website, an information hub with educational content, and participation in major European and US logistics exhibitions (LogiMAT, SITL, IMHX, MODEX, ProMat, Intralogistica). Direct B2B sales are supported by in-house certified installation teams and managed within the broader international footprint of the PRN Group, which includes operations in the Netherlands and the USA (Profielnorm USA, opened 2026 in Michigan).

Broad incumbents

• Hadley Group: UK-based manufacturer of cold-rolled steel profiles and structural products. Overlaps with JSW on cold-form technology and structural steel supply, but operates across broader industries beyond mezzanines.
• MiTek Industries: Global supplier of engineered structural connectors, software, and building products. Tangentially comparable through structural-engineering ecosystem serving commercial construction including mezzanine and racking applications.
• Wieland Group: European metals manufacturer with broad product portfolio including rolled and fabricated metal components. Comparable as a broader metals incumbent intersecting JSW's supply chain and end markets.

Others

• Voortman Steel Group: Dutch manufacturer of CNC steel-processing machinery and structural steel fabricator. Relevant as an adjacent/ecosystem participant: supplies equipment and fabricated steel used in industrial building and mezzanine construction.
• Profielnorm (PRN Group): Sister company of JSW within PRN Group, manufacturing mezzanine floors from the Netherlands with a new US facility in Michigan. Functionally the same product family, but a sibling entity rather than external competitor — useful as a true comparable for unit economics.

Direct peers

• Constructor Group: Dutch-headquartered European mezzanine floor manufacturer serving multiple countries. Direct competitor in product category with international reach that JSW lacks.
• Hi-Level Mezzanines: UK-based specialist designer, manufacturer, and installer of mezzanine floors serving warehouses, offices, and retail. Closest direct head-to-head competitor to JSW with the same custom project model and UK-focused customer base.
• Mezzanine Floors Ltd: UK mezzanine floor manufacturer and installer serving logistics, retail, and industrial customers. Direct peer in product, geography, and customer segments.
• SEC Group (Storage Equipment Co.): UK provider of mezzanine floors, racking, and storage solutions. Competes with JSW for warehouse and logistics customers, often bundling mezzanines with broader fit-out packages.
• Storax: European supplier of mobile and static storage systems including mezzanine floors. Comparable in product and customer base across UK and continental Europe.
