Mission
To be the premier employer of individuals with disabilities.

Vision
We will accomplish our mission by providing competitive wages and benefits in a safe, encouraging and respectful environment where our employees can achieve personal success. Our mission is sustained by operating as a self-sufficient, nonprofit organization, providing valuable goods and services for customers by utilizing the unique talents of our employees.

We create supply-chain efficiencies to help manufacturers with non-automated activities. Peoria Production Shop was founded in 1941, initially to provide employment for recovering tuberculosis patients. In 1951, the organization was incorporated as a not-for-profit, and we expanded our mission to employ individuals with all types of disabilities.

As our capabilities have grown, our mission has remained the same: to provide training, employment and encouragement that allows individuals with disabilities to achieve financial and social independence. Our motivation is jobs, not profits, which allows us to be responsive and competitive on many different levels.

We serve a population of persons with disabilities from Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, Fulton and Knox counties. Peoria Production Shop partners with other agencies and organizations that provide employment training and support to persons with disabilities to funnel clients to career employment opportunities at PPS. By working with the State of Illinois Department of Rehabilitation, local high school special education and cooperative education programs, and similarly-focused vocational rehabilitation programs such as CWTC and EP!C, their missions enhance those of PPS to find successful careers. 

How to Help
Peoria Production Shop is 100% self-supporting. We receive no subsidies or support from federal or state grants or charities, nor do we host organizational events for fundraising. PPS has remained a self-sufficient not-for-profit for 80 years by providing goods and services to our business customers as our sole source of revenue.

  • contract assembly
  • kitting services
