Who we are

Built on Site Experience.
Backed by Craft.

MPS Engineering is a UK-based mechanical services provider supporting industrial sites across the paper, energy, recycling, and manufacturing sectors.

Founded by Luke Reeves, a time-served technician with a background in heavy maintenance, MPS is built on site-earned experience. We understand how production environments run, and more importantly, how to keep them running.

From full plant shutdowns to last-minute repairs, we bring a practical, no-nonsense approach to every job. Clients count on us for fast fault diagnosis, quality workmanship, and clear communication, without the fluff.

Recent Work

From shutdowns to one-off installs, MPS Engineering supports critical infrastructure across the North and beyond.

Projects

Major Shutdown Support

Local Paper Mill

During a planned outage, the mill needed heavy mechanical work across multiple zones of the line.

MPS removed large process rolls, installed upgraded gear, and retro-fitted new tail-thread components, fabricating parts on site and coordinating step-for-step with the mill’s engineers.

Shutdown stayed on schedule, safety never dipped, and MPS remained through commissioning to ensure a smooth production restart.

MOD10 Shaft-Handler Install

Hautamäki

Jarshire hired MPS Engineering to fit a MOD10 shaft-handler to a key printing press at Hautamäki.

Careful pre-planning, safe off-loading, mechanical build, and laser-precise alignment, all finished inside the agreed window, fully compliant with site safety rules.

Handler slotted seamlessly into the press. MPS stayed on for last-minute tweaks before commissioning, so production could resume with zero hiccups.
