Trusted used process equipment dealers – discover the IPP advantage

IPP is one of the most trusted used process equipment dealers in the world, with global operations and in-stock inventory.

Delivering fast, cost-effective solutions to global manufacturers since 1978

When manufacturers search for reliable used process equipment dealers, they turn to International Process Plants (IPP) for speed, savings and scale. IPP operates across 15 countries, offering the world’s largest inventory of ready-to-ship equipment and complete plant assets. With over 47 years of experience, 160,000+ customer relationships, and an unmatched network of technical experts, IPP is the go-to partner for companies looking to buy or sell secondhand process equipment with confidence.

Unlike many used process equipment dealers who serve as brokers or marketplaces, IPP owns its inventory. That means faster response times, quality control, and direct accountability — no third parties needed. Whether you’re looking for stainless steel tanks, glass-lined reactors, or a complete chemical plant, IPP gives you immediate access and rapid results.

“Customers come to us when time and capital matter,” said Ross Gale, vice president at IPP. “They don’t have 18 months to wait or the budget for a greenfield build. Our job is to give them technical fits, fast answers and flexible options — all from the most trusted inventory on the planet.”

IPP’s owned assets span 15,000+ systems and 20 complete plant sites. From individual heat exchangers to entire API plants, every item undergoes a lifecycle evaluation and performance inspection prior to sale. Buyers also benefit from IPP’s deep experience with logistics, decommissioning, and repurposing assets to meet current process specs.

And IPP is more than just a used process equipment dealer. Through Gale Process Solutions (GPS), IPP offers new, custom-built stainless and alloy equipment at reduced lead times and costs. And Universal Glasteel Equipment (UGE) provides new, used, and reglassed glass-lined reactors, tanks and parts with global certifications and quick delivery.
