Established in 1975
Pneutrol Instrumentation Limited was established in January 1976 by Edwin McPherson and Thomas Ewart. Both highly respected instrumentation engineers in their field, they grew the company from humble beginnings in Randalstown, N. Ireland, as shown in the picture, to become a significant supplier of parts and services to the industrial sector in Ireland.
After retirement the McPherson family continued to develop the business and to facilitate this exponential growth, opened their new purpose-built Factory and Headquarters in January 2000 in Antrim, N. Ireland, close to the International Airport and 23km from the main Shipping Port.
We are now one of the market leaders in the design, development and supply of industrial components and process control solutions to multiple industries throughout the world and to reflect their global status, changed the company name to Pneutrol International Limited.
Pneutrol International Limited remains family owned and is led by Directors, Alastair McPherson and Gregory McPherson.
Since 1975, businesses have trusted us to deliver. 50 years later, that promise has never been stronger.
