Private firm PPS specialises in retail gift and presentation packaging specialist. It was founded in 1979 by Brian Bell and the business was purchased by his son, Simon Bell, in 2007.
"We are excited to join forces with InnerWorkings," said Simon Bell, general manager of PPS. "I have no doubt that both companies will benefit greatly from each other's expertise, global contacts and worldwide manufacturing network. Although we will be operating under the InnerWorkings banner, I can assure clients it will be business as usual."
In a statement, PPS said that it has grown over the past 34 years to become a "market leader in global brand and gift packaging providing clients with unique constructional ideas, graphic design, worldwide sourcing, assembly, and project management".
Clients include Boots, Harrods, Bollinger, Edrington, Thorntons, and it has recently opened up the Russian market through its strong relationship with Bacardi.
"PPS has a strong reputation for creating luxury packaging solutions," said Simon Dipple, managing director, UK, of InnerWorkings. "We look forward to integrating them into the InnerWorkings family."
