A company specialised in manufacturing extrusion and packaging machines for plastic pipes and profiles, IPM is now celebrating its thirtieth anniversary. IPM was founded in 1987 by Claudio Argnani, Bruno Barabani and Silvia Geminiani (see picture below) after they had worked together for another company operating in the plastics sector for ten years.

“For us, IPM represented the wish to put us on the line, to fly with our own wings, and to make our own contribution to the humanity’s growth. All this in an innovative sector where we sensed the possibility to make new ideas, new machines and new technologies come true. Machines and technologies which we want to be closer and closer to the requirements and needs of a market which is increasingly demanding, wide and evolved. All this not only respecting environment and human beings, but also with love and passion both by our side - the ones who have founded it - and by side of our whole collaborators,” said the three founders.

The whole process - starting from the design up to the machinery’s production - is effected directly in the company, in security for quality and for its being totally made in Italy. The modern and functional IPM premises arise in Lugo (Ravenna), in an area of ca. 13,000 sqm which is indoor for ca. 5,220 sqm. The plants of which it makes use both for the machinery’s design and production are modern, highly technological as well as constantly updated and renewed. Particular attention is paid to the research and development of new products which are always on the cutting edge to satisfy and even anticipate requirements of a market which is getting more and more structured and competitive.

Today, IPM sells its products to mature and developed markets as well as to emerging ones.
