Process equipment suppliers: Why IPP leads globally

IPP sets the standard among global process equipment suppliers, offering immediate availability and cost-effective solutions for critical manufacturing projects.

Choose IPP to source quality process equipment faster and smarter

Selecting reliable process equipment suppliers is critical to maintaining efficient and cost-effective operations. International Process Plants (IPP), the world’s largest seller of used process plants and equipment, has established itself as the premier choice for companies seeking immediate availability, unmatched industry experience, and significant cost savings.

IPP maintains an extensive inventory, with more than 15,000 process equipment systems, reactors, heat exchangers, centrifuges, and complete plants available for immediate shipment. This broad selection means IPP is uniquely capable of fulfilling diverse industry needs, from petrochemical and pharmaceutical to specialty chemical manufacturing.

“Our customers consistently tell us the same thing: the speed and savings we deliver make a real difference,” said Ross Gale, IPP Vice President. “With traditional equipment suppliers, companies face lead times of 12 to 24 months, or longer. By turning to IPP, they can reduce these timelines by up to 90% and cut costs significantly.”

Another advantage IPP offers is its comprehensive evaluation process. Every piece of equipment undergoes rigorous inspection, documentation, and if required, refurbishment. This meticulous approach ensures reliability and compliance with the most stringent industry standards, enhancing buyer confidence and significantly lowering project risk.

IPP’s subsidiaries, Gale Process Solutions (GPS) and Universal Glasteel Equipment (UGE), further expand its capabilities, offering new, custom-built equipment and high-quality glass-lined components, respectively. GPS specializes in stainless-steel, Hastelloy, and specialty alloy reactors, dryers, and filters—delivering lead times 50% faster and cost savings around 25% compared to traditional manufacturers. UGE complements this with reglassed, used, and new glass-lined reactors and tanks, holding an ASME ‘R’ Certificate for pressure vessel repairs in both Europe and North America.

IPP also differentiates itself from other process equipment suppliers through its global reach. With operations in over 15 countries, IPP can efficiently navigate regulatory, logistical, and commercial challenges, making it a trusted partner worldwide. Whether customers seek equipment for a new plant build, capacity expansion, or modernization project, IPP delivers tailored solutions aligned with precise operational and financial goals.

Emphasizing sustainability, IPP recycles over 95% of materials from decommissioned plants, supporting customers’ ESG goals and reducing environmental impact. Additionally, IPP is certified under ISN RAVS Plus, highlighting its rigorous safety standards and operational excellence.
