Celebrating 40 Years of Excellence: A Milestone and the Future of MPS

Milestones are meant to be celebrated and this year, Mechanical Project Services (MPS) proudly commemorates its 40th anniversary.

Forty years ago, MPS started as a small team committed to delivering top-notch HVAC services. Today, MPS is recognised as a national leader in building services and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together. This milestone is an opportunity to reflect on our growth, express gratitude to our clients and share glimpses of the exciting road ahead for our company.

Building Success From the Ground Up

Incorporated in 1985, MPS was started with one simple goal—to provide reliable HVAC and mechanical services for clients who value quality over shortcuts. That’s been the heart of what we do from the beginning, even as we’ve grown into something much bigger. Over the years, MPS has built its name as a trusted, multi-disciplinary provider. Whether it’s HVAC systems, building services, electrical contracting, or renewable energy solutions, we’ve been there, rolling our sleeves and getting the job done.

Our commitment to delivering reliable, top-notch solutions tailored to our clients’ needs hasn’t changed. It’s not just about doing the job—it’s about doing it properly, with pride and the expertise that only comes from decades of hands-on experience.

Key Highlights of Our Journey

The path hasn’t always been easy, but thanks to our perseverance and passion, we’ve hit some remarkable milestones:

1985 – MPS was born, focusing on HVAC services.
1990s – Expansion into Victoria and New South Wales broadened our reach.
2014 – Entered the electrical contracting arena, growing our service offerings.
2015 – Launched our Renewable Energy division to lead in solar-powered solutions.
2019 – Expanded into Sydney, Southern Queensland and the ACT, reinforcing national operations.
2021 – Significant growth in the PV Solar division, boosting our sustainability efforts.

Every step we’ve taken reflects our decades of experience, adapting and evolving alongside this ever-changing industry to ensure we meet the needs of our valued clients.

People Always Come First

No business thrives without strong people. Our most outstanding achievement isn’t just the completed projects or the clients we’ve won—it’s the team we’ve built. Every technician, project manager, administrator and leader contributes to our success at MPS. We’ve created an environment that thrives on learning and respect.

Our core values—teamwork, continuous improvement and a commitment to the communities we serve—form the core of our culture. This isn’t just a workplace; it’s a place where people grow, support each other and deliver their best.

Thank You to Our Clients

I’d be remiss not to acknowledge the incredible clients who’ve made this 40-year milestone possible. Your trust and collaboration have been central to our growth. Whether it’s helping you reduce energy footprints, complete complex refurbishments, or maintain your building systems, your faith in us has driven our team to improve and innovate continually.

What stands out most is the long-term partnerships we’ve built along the way. These connections don’t just push projects forward—they push us forward as a company. Thank you for making MPS the business it is today.

Towards a Sustainable and Successful Future

While it’s important to celebrate the past, the future keeps MPS moving. We’re sharper, more focused and more determined than ever. Here’s how we’re preparing for the next chapter:

Technology Integration – Advanced tools like the AroFlo are designed for seamless maintenance and service needs management.
Sustainability Excellence – Further breakthroughs in renewable energy, particularly our PV Solar operations, led by our expert team.
Strategic Growth
– Expanding our operations and services across Australia, giving businesses nationwide access to our expertise.

Cheers to 40 Years—and Counting!

Looking back, it’s remarkable what we’ve built together. This milestone isn’t just a celebration—it’s a reminder of what happens when a company prioritises quality, trust and innovation. I’m deeply thankful to every member of the team and every client who has been part of this story.

As we step into the future, I’m more confident than ever in our ability to deliver, adapt and thrive. Here’s to the road ahead—filled with opportunity, innovation and success.
