Our People, Our Difference
People are at the center of every system we deliver. As an employee-owned packaging company (ESOP), our team of experts takes personal pride in their work and the success of our customers. Our culture is defined by ownership, trust, and innovation, creating an environment where engineering precision meets a servant’s heart. Customers experience this difference in the way we listen, problem-solve, and stand behind every result.
Employee ownership defines how IPM works. Every team member has a stake in success, and that sense of responsibility shows in the systems we design, install, and support. Ownership turns projects into personal commitments, where pride in the work translates into dependable results for customers.
As an ESOP packaging integrator, we also create stability that benefits both employees and clients. Many team members build long careers here, and that continuity means customers often see the same trusted people returning project after project, year after year.
Customers often describe IPM as easy to work with, even in the most complex projects. That reputation comes from professionalism across the organization, seen in engineers, project managers, installers, and trainers alike. Customers trust that combination of steady professionalism and technical precision to make challenging projects feel manageable.
That same professionalism shows in IPM’s commitment to safety. Employees look out for one another and follow proven protocols on every job, creating a workplace where people can focus on performance and results with confidence.
Inside IPM, connection reinforces this culture. Traditions like the annual company picnic, golf outing, and other team gatherings build trust across the organization and create a sense of belonging that carries into our work.
Continuous learning is part of IPM’s culture. Employees find opportunities to grow their skills through structured programs, mentorship, and hands-on experience that prepare them for long-term success.
We offer development paths that support employees at every stage of their career:
