About Us

History, Mission, and Growth

Peoria Production Shop has been employing individuals with all types of disabilities for nearly 80 years. As a not-for-profit, our motivation is jobs, not profits, which allows us to be responsive and competitive on many different levels. Peoria Production Shop is 100% self-supporting.

Our team at Peoria Production Shop (PPS) have listened to requests and based on feedback, we are expanding our business drastically to meet client’s needs. We invested in equipment, top talent, and most exciting and importantly, additional space to accommodate all of our growth.

During this time of uncertainty, our clients have found that although they had never considered outsourcing their projects in the past, due to the lack of talent and/or the high demands of unforgiving deadlines, Peoria Production Shop (PPS) has been able to support so many of our customers through these times and still keeping up with the extensive metrics required.

PPS HAS BEEN PROVIDING SOLUTIONS TO THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:

Inadequate packaging, wrapping, or bagging Substandard mechanical assembly Ineffective Just in Time (JIT) “break bulk” sorting Urgent deadlines Poor or inconsistent sewing or fabrication Overflow or lack of storage Lack of talent to support these needs
