PFP Electrical Products Ltd was founded on 1st October 1997 as a result of a merger between Petrel Ltd and Fitter and Poulton Ltd, both of which were subsidiaries of Chamberlin & Hill PLC. Benefits of the merger have included greater flexibility and therefore an imporved service for our customers, a strengthened management team, and greater investment. Petrel Ltd specialised in the design and manufacture of electrical control and distribution equipment, junction boxes and lighting for use in hazardous areas, and supplied the UK, Europe, the Middle and Far East. These products are now marketed under Petrel brand name. Fitter and Poulton Ltd supplied a range of fast moving electrical eqiupment, such as switch and socket boxes, conduit fittings, IP65 steel enclosures and the Clip-In range to electrical wholesalers throughout the UK and enjoyed some export, mainly to the Middle East. Fitter and Poulton has been retained as the brand name for these products. Since the merger PFP has launched two major lighting ranges: the Petrelux 7 Series of flame-proof fluorescents and the EV 5 Series of increased safety fuorescents. The company intends to concentrate on further updating and enlarging other product ranges, and constantly striving to give the best possible service to their customers. PFP is committed to expanding and updating the Petrel lighting range, using technical expertise and knowledge of cusomers' requiremens to improve on existing product concepts with new designs which offer high performance, a wide range of options, and are easy to install and maintain. Fluorescents account for over half of the lighting used in European hazardous areas, and PFP has recently launched the most comprehensive, user friendly range of flameproof fluorescents available worldwide, (the petrelux 7 Series) and has also launched a modern comprehensive range of increased safety fuuorescents (the EV 5 Series), which has been certified in accordance with the ATEX directive.

The Petrel lighting range also includes a wide variety of wellglasses. beacons, bulkheads and floodlights. PFP can therefore offer customers a complete range of lighting for Zone 1 hazardous areas.
