Priority Engineering Services (PES) was founded in 1984 at Burton, South Australia with just 3 employees. For the first seven years PES focused on general engineering and the manufacture of special purpose machinery built to customer drawings, this, over the years, has gained PES an excellent trade record for our standard of manufacture in both quality and service.

After achieving carefully laid plans for expansion, the company moved, in 1991 to Elizabeth in the heart of South Austrlia's manufacturing sector. In September 1992, PES was certified as an ISO9002 / AS3902 Quality System company by Det Norske Veritas and has since been certified with ISO9001:2000 & recently upgraded to ISO9001:2008 accreditation. This further highlights the company's total commitment to manufacture quality products, be it a spare part or a total turnkey special purpose machine.

In 1995 PES started to export thier core product range of metal stamping plant equipment to the Asia Pacific region, this led to the establishment of the Malaysian office a year later. Expansion of the company's manufacturing operations forced the relocation in 2004 to the current premises at Womma Road in Elizabeth.
