After two years of focussed development work, 3P establishes itself in project business as a provider of in-line inspections
A lot of work was waiting for the team, which quickly grew in size.
3P Services was founded in 1992 in the Emsland – the oil-producing region in the North-West of Germany. From the beginning 3P Services has been an independent, privately owned company with clear concentration on in-line inspection technology.
In its 30-year history, the company has shown steady growth. Since 1992 the number of employees continues to increase and our R&D department is continuously working on technical innovations to respond even better to customer requirements.
