Why Work at IPM
Ownership that Empowers
As an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company, every employee shares in financial success. We provide access to company performance updates, transparent leadership, and a clear path to long-term wealth creation. Ownership is more than a benefit. It is the foundation of how we operate and the pride that carries into every project.
A Culture That Values People
At IPM, our values of integrity, a servant’s heart, ownership spirit, and continuous improvement guide how we work together each day. Connection and trust grow through team traditions, charitable giving, and recognition of achievements. This culture is evident in how we support one another and in the professionalism our customers see, even during the most complex projects.
Growth and Development
IPM invests in people at every stage of their career. Through IPM University, apprenticeships, and internships, we build bench strength and prepare future leaders. These programs balance experienced, tenured employees with new talent, creating a strong pipeline for the future. Partnerships with schools and universities strengthen this system, giving students and early-career professionals a clear entry point into packaging automation.
Career growth at IPM follows many paths. Many of our sales professionals began as engineers, then advanced to installers, application engineers, and eventually into sales roles. Others have moved from shop-floor positions into departments like purchasing and operations. This emphasis on development ensures every employee has the opportunity to learn, progress, and build a long-term career with an employee-owned company.
