Unlock Value. Transfer Risk. Restore Opportunity.

At International Process Plants (IPP), we specialize in purchasing idled, retired, or shut down industrial sites worldwide — including those with complex environmental site closure challenges. For over 30 years, we’ve helped owners and stakeholders unlock hidden value in distressed facilities, while transferring the burden of chemical cleanup, soil remediation and groundwater contamination to an experienced, trusted partner.

Our Proven Approach

We Buy Industrial Sites Others Won’t Touch

From mothballed chemical, fertilizer, polymer, and pharmaceutical plants, to oil refineries and terminal properties, we acquire facilities with known contamination, including soil, groundwater and process equipment with hazardous residues—both bulk and trace hazards.

IPP streamlines plant decommissioning with complete site purchases, environmental risk transfers, and reduced carrying costs—delivering efficient, cost-effective solutions for every project.

We Take On Environmental Obligations

We understand the regulatory and reputational risks that come with environmental liabilities. As your buyer, we assume responsibility for site cleanup and regulatory compliance — giving you and regulators confidence that your closure will be handled responsibly and efficiently, as we have across dozens of sites globally over the last 30 years.

IPP simplifies plant decommissioning with complete site purchases, environmental risk transfers, and reduced carrying costs—all backed by our RAVS Plus recognition for safety and compliance excellence.

Responsible Asset Redeployment & Site Redevelopment

Our in-house team and specialized remediation partners work with local environmental authorities to evaluate and remediate contamination to meet the most stringent regulatory requirements. We maximize reuse opportunities for both land and assets — reducing waste and extending the productive life of industrial equipment through global asset redeployment, and redevelopment to highest and best responsible uses for the land.

Decades of Cross-Border Experience

With more than three decades of site acquisition and remediation experience across Europe, the UK, and North America, IPP is uniquely experienced and equipped to navigate complex environmental closure, regulatory permitting, remediation planning, and cleanup processes — even in the most challenging industrial sectors with the most challenging constituents, including PFAS/PFOA fluorocarbon “forever chemicals”.
