Our Story

As such, the importance we place on our people is reflected in the on-going commitments to staff development and training. This ensures that we continually improve our organisational capabilities, engineering, manufacturing and field services. Our sales and project management teams are dedicated specialists in delivering effective Nitrogen, Hydrogen and zero gas generation solutions to our customers and each generator is designed, assembled, tested and maintained by our highly experienced and qualified team of engineers – all delivered by over 600 dedicated employees worldwide.

Our Mission, Values, Vision, Products & Services are structured around our Colleagues, Customers and Partners. While our approach and atmosphere within the business is fun, friendly and informal, we are all passionate about what we do and place a very high importance upon maintaining a high degree of professional work ethic. We operate in an industry where competition is intense – a fast moving market environment that pushes and drives our talents to their very best. We pride ourselves on the personable relationships we have with our customers and this is testimony to why they continue to do business with us.

Our business initially established itself as distributor of air compressors.

Peak was established to manufacture gas generators & launched the NM30LA – the founding product of the business and predecessor to our current product series.

Founder and Managing Director, Robin MacGeachy, fully acquires Peak with the vision of becoming a global leader in the gas generator market.

Peak embarked on sustained a growth phase, transitioning from < 50 employees to > 300 by 2014. Also we established our first regional international operations by establishing Peak North America in Billerica, Massachusetts and entered the Indian market, establishing Peak India, closely flowed by opening our Hyderabad office in 2009.

Our most successful product platform to date was launched. The Genius series continues to define our fundamental technology offering of robust, self-contained and cost effective gas generator systems for laboratories.

Peak established its 1st Peak office in Shanghai, bringing us closer to the Chinese market and increasing our global reach. Also our R&D drive led to opportunities to target new markets, with dedicated product solutions for Gas Chromatography (Precision) and larger scale, industrial manufacturing & processing applications (the i-Flow nitrogen generator).

Peak expanded further and upgraded its facilities in UK to meet increasing sales & service demands from our now firmly established, global marketplace. Also Peak won an unprecedented 4th Queen’s Award, awarded for excellence in export and innovation – they are the highest official accolade in British business.

With 16 dedicated offices globally and trained Peak service engineers in over 20 countries, Peak’s continued focus has been to be a leading global partner for our customers globally and locally. In 2016 we raised the bar further by winning a 5th Queen’s Award and continue to consolidate our position as market leaders in gas generation systems, experiencing strong growth in both Scientific & Industrial marketplaces.

We launched our new peakgas brand for the indutrial market, our New brand highlights our commitment is to provide your facility with a reliable gas generation solution that delivers long term value. We achieve this through exceptional product design, and direct global on-site support that is unmatched in our industry. We take a vested interest in your outcomes and strive to be a valued partner in your success by delivering exceptional service over the life of the product.  

Peak Scientific has signed a long-term lease with Riverside Inverclyde Property Holdings (RIPH) for a second unit at Kelburn Business Park in Port Glasgow. The company set up a research and development office at the site two years ago and is now establishing a manufacturing hub in a neighbouring 15,500 square foot block. Peak specialises in laboratory production of gas and has identified an opportunity during the current coronavirus pandemic to support the healthcare and food and drink sectors worldwide with portable oxygen generators which have been developed in Port Glasgow.

Upgraded i-Flow Prime product launched delivering even greater performance than it's predecessor the i-Flow. Brand new i-Flow Mini product platform also launched offering a solution for smaller facilities with same expandable design.
