When businesses search for an industrial plant that matches their production goals and budget, they consistently turn to International Process Plants (IPP). With more than 47 years of industry leadership, IPP is the trusted source for buying, selling, and relocating complete plants across the globe.

IPP’s inventory spans chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, polymer, fertilizer, and specialty manufacturing sectors, offering immediate access to over 110 complete process plants and 20 full-site manufacturing facilities. Explore available industrial plants to find a site that fits your operational needs without the long lead times associated with new construction.

Rather than waiting years for ground-up development, many companies are relocating industrial plant assets to fast-track their growth. “The opportunity cost of waiting for a new facility to be built is just too high,” said Ron Gale, President of IPP. “By tapping into an existing site, companies save not only capital but also seize market share faster.”

IPP’s flexible models include turn-key relocation, sale of full plants, and modular extraction of high-value systems like heat exchangers and reactors. Every asset undergoes a detailed evaluation to meet environmental, safety, and operational standards before resale.
