IPP is involved into three strategic services: (1) Acquire and Market complete “Manufacturing Plants” including land, equipment, buildings, documents, intellectual properties and under special circumstances – assume environmental remediation responsibilities.
Currently IPP owns 16 manufacturing plant sites (mainly in North America and Europe).
(2) Acquire and Market complete “Manufacturing Processes” without real estate or land. IPP owns 115 manufacturing processes globally. (3) Acquire and Market complete “Equipment & Manufacturing Systems”. IPP owns 15,000 equipment systems and manufacturing processes – stored at one of the 5 warehouse sites in USA, UK, and Germany.
We have a wide range of manufacturing processes, systems, and equipment available in the sectors of Industrial Chemicals, Specialty Chemicals, Biotech, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Agrichemical/Fertilizer, Metals Processing/Refining, Food Processing,Alternative Fuels, Oil/Gas, Power Generation. IPP has a team of experienced engineers who thoroughly inspect all the equipment before it is made available for purchase.
This ensures that the customers are getting equipment that is in good working condition
and ready for operation. Team IPP is always in a search of complete and technologically advanced facilities that can be acquired and offered to our global network of 160,000 customers.
We have recently added following facilities to our inventory: (1) Soda Ash (2) Chlor Alkali (3) PTA & PET (4) Hydrogen Plant (5) Air Separation Units (6) Polypropylene (7) HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE (8) Titanium Dioxide (9) Polystyrene (10) Ammonia/Urea (11) Sulfuric Acid (12) Nitric Acid (13) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Facility (14) Ethyl Benzene (15) Acrylic Acid; just to name few.
In addition to these core activities, IPP also offers value-added services such as project management and consulting. The company’s experienced team can provide support throughout the entire process, from initial planning and decommissioning to dismantling

One of such examples is of our clients who has built their entire business with the relocation of quality used plants and now they have yearly revenue of more than 1 billion USD while other clients relocate plants to increase existing production capacity.
Benefits of Relocating Used Process Plant
There are several benefits to relocating a used process plant:
1. Cost savings: Purchasing and relocating a used plant can be significantly less expensive than building a new one. Our customers have reported savings up to 50% in Total Project Cost while relocating a used plant compared to the cost of new plant.
2. Quicker turnaround time: A used plant can be up and running more quickly than a new one that needs to be built from scratch. Relocation reduces timeline of engineering and equipment fabrication phases substantially, hence slashing project timeline by 12 to 24 months.
3. Proven technology: A used plant has already been in operation, so its technology and design have been proven to work.
4. Reduced environmental impact: Relocating a used plant can prevent the need for new raw materials and energy consumption associated with fabrication of equipment.
5. Access to specialized equipment: A used plant may have specialized equipment or technology that would be difficult or expensive to replicate in a new facility.
Impact on Environment
Relocating a used process plant can have several environmental benefits:
1. Reduced waste: Relocating a used plant can prevent the need for new raw materials, which reduces the amount of waste produced (including water) during construction.
2. Reduced energy consumption: A used plant will already have been built, so relocating it will not require the energy consumption that would be needed to construct a new facility.
3. Reduced carbon footprint: Relocating a used plant can prevent the need for new raw materials, energy consumption, emissions, and land use associated with building a new facility, all of which can contribute to a reduction in the plant’s carbon footprint.
Relocating a used process plant can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for companies looking to expand or upgrade their operations. With proper planning and involvement of experts from International Process Plants and Equipment (IPP), the benefits of relocating a used process plant can be realized and the execution will result in
cost and time savings.
