For companies facing tight timelines and capital constraints, International Process Plants (IPP) offers a smarter way to expand. With 47+ years of global expertise and more than 20 complete industrial plants available for immediate relocation, IPP is uniquely positioned to help clients move fast and spend less.

Whether you’re seeking to increase output, enter a new market or modernize operations, buying a used industrial plant through IPP often delivers better value than building from scratch. Customers typically save up to 70% on capital and reduce project timelines by as much as 90% compared to greenfield construction. Every plant is supported by IPP’s in-house engineering team and global logistics experts.

“Speed matters in manufacturing,” said Ron Gale, president of IPP. “That’s why so many companies trust IPP. We’ve built a global platform where you can find the right plant, verify the specs, and get started immediately—with less capital risk.”

IPP’s current listings include chemical, pharmaceutical, specialty material and biofuel facilities—each with full documentation, equipment lists and engineering support. Some are available with real estate and infrastructure included, while others are dismantled and stored for rapid reassembly.

In an era of tariffs, volatile energy prices and shifting trade routes, IPP’s ability to help clients source industrial plants in or near desired markets is an invaluable strategic advantage. Companies also benefit from the capabilities of Gale Process Solutions (new stainless and specialty alloy equipment builds) and Universal Glasteel Equipment (glass-lined systems and repair services).

IPP’s environmental leadership also stands out. The company’s decommissioning and relocation efforts regularly achieve 95% recycling rates and its Eastover site holds the ISN RAVS Plus certification, reinforcing its commitment to safe, sustainable practices.

IPP’s ISN RAVS Plus certification underscores its commitment to safety and compliance—a crucial consideration for buyers in the API and pharmaceutical sector.
