About us / History

On 21st March 1983, NIS Ltd, with the assistance of Lancashire Enterprises, was formed from B&R Engineering and B&R Fabrications. During the subsequent years NIS grew organically & by acquisition and a milestone was reached in 1993 when NSG Environmental Ltd was purchased.

With the acquisition of Petrie Technologies Ltd in 1995, the continuing growth of NIS Ltd in Chorley, and the need for individual corporate identity, it became apparent that the Group needed to be restructured and so in 1997 NIS Holdings Ltd was formed, as the overall parent company.

For more than 25 years we have provided turnkey capability, from unique engineering consultancy services through feasibility studies and design to manufacture, installation and commissioning.

Now privately owned, we are one of the UK’s leading specialists in the provision of integrated engineering systems and special purpose plant & equipment for customers in high technology industries.
