About Us
In the Beginning:
IPM was established in spring of 1996. Owner and founder Ralph Dlugas, a machinist and mechanical engineer, believed that there were excellent opportunities in job shop manufacturing. He believed that philosophies such as "on time, period!" and "fat pigs go to the slaughter" would be well received in many industries that required low cost, quality parts made with little or no lead time. It quickly became apparent that Ralphs' philosophies were accurate and, after IPM's first five years, it quickly grew into a high tech, world class facility.
The Growing Years:
Specializing in turning work, IPM manufactures parts for various industries such as: oil field, mining, aerospace, medical, and many more. IPM can accommodate your production and prototype needs. From micro to mammoth; non-critical parts made 'quick and dirty' to ultra critical intricate parts made from the most exotic alloys on earth, IPM strives to exceed every customers expectations.
Where We're Going:
IPM, a company dedicated to manufacturing the most challenging parts against the most impossible of deadlines. We appreciate the opportunity to provide you a quote and look forward to doing business with you.
