Used facility marketplace with IPP’s global buyer network

Companies worldwide rely on International Process Plants (IPP) as the leading used facility marketplace. With nearly five decades of expertise, IPP helps organizations buy and sell surplus plants quickly and profitably while providing full relocation services.

Why choose IPP’s used facility marketplace

Unlike general online marketplaces or brokers, IPP is built exclusively for process industries. We operate 20 active plant sites worldwide and maintain more than 15,000 pieces of equipment in stock. That reach gives sellers faster access to qualified buyers and gives buyers immediate visibility into surplus facilities across chemicals, polymers, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, and specialty industries.

For companies under pressure to expand capacity, IPP offers an advantage competitors can’t match. Instead of waiting years for a greenfield project, you can acquire a proven facility, relocate it, and restart production in months. Sellers also benefit from stronger offers thanks to our direct buyer relationships.

Unlocking value with IPP’s marketplace model

A second-hand facility isn’t just a fallback — it’s often the smartest route for operators under cost, compliance, or timeline pressure. IPP helps companies reposition surplus plants that may be idle in one region but highly valuable in another.

For example, global demand for fertilizer and ammonia plants continues to grow as agriculture scales up. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are adding redundant capacity to safeguard supply chains. Energy companies are seeking specialty chemical facilities to diversify production. IPP tracks these shifts and ensures surplus facilities are marketed where they are most needed.

This is more than a listing service. IPP’s marketplace model includes valuation, compliance review, marketing outreach, dismantling, shipping, and recommissioning — so that every transaction results in a facility returning to productive use.
