Industrial Process Systems

What Industrial Process Systems does

Industrial Process Systems (IPS), operating as IPS, is a privately held industrial process equipment integrator and service provider headquartered at 645 S Powell Rd, Independence, Missouri. Founded around 2000 and operating for over 20 years, IPS engineers, fabricates, repairs, and assembles process systems for industrial customers across Food and Beverage, Pharma and Biopharma, Industrial Chemical, Power, Oil and Gas, and Aerospace. The company combines a component resale catalog (pumps, valves, heat exchangers, motors, mechanical seals, tanks, filtration, UV systems, centrifuges, gearboxes, and instrumentation) with full-service engineering capabilities including 3-D modeling, CAD, CFD modeling, system analysis, custom fabrication, machining, repairs, start-up services, and turnkey process system delivery.

The business is built on a multi-vendor integration model: IPS maintains documented relationships with more than 50 industrial equipment manufacturers such as Atlas Copco, ABB Baldor, Sundyne, Gorman-Rupp, Xylem, Pentair Aurora, and EagleBurgmann, allowing it to assemble systems from best-of-breed components rather than proprietary hardware. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of components and packaged skids, professional services for engineering design and system integration, custom fabrication and machining work, and on-site repair and maintenance. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with both project-based field engagement and a walk-up counter at headquarters serving walk-in customers needing parts and assemblies.

Customer engagement is concentrated in the US Midwest, supported only by a LinkedIn presence for digital marketing, with no e-commerce channel or public pricing. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent entity, and operates with 11 to 50 employees. There is no documented AI, ML, or software platform capability in the current offering; engineering tools referenced are traditional CAD and CFD simulation. No revenue, headcount trend, or backlog figures are publicly available.
