Company Description

Since 1999, we have focused on studying, perfecting, producing and delivering effective temperature-control packaging to companies shipping medicines, foods and industrial goods worldwide. Starting as a family business in Los Angeles in 1999, IPC started supplying the produce industry in Southern California with the containers, insulation and refrigerant materials required to ship their goods around the world. The company founder quickly recognized the national and global demand for such products, and IPC began to reach out, via trade shows and the internet, to the many industries that require temperature-control packaging around the world. IPC began to grow its extensive manufacturing plant that produces proprietary temperature-control materials reliably, year-round, day in and day out.
