If your business is in the paper, pulp, nonwovens, heath care or allied industry, IPS Testing Experts will help you find the solution.

Consider these three case studies - you may benefit by having IPS be your primary testing provider!
Case 1: IPS is the Primary Physical Testing Provider for a Fortune 150 Company
In September 2006 IPS was selected as the physical testing provider for a large U.S. consumer, paper products and health care company. Over a three month period IPS staffed up and added additional conditioned lab space to meet the needs of this customer. IPS received over 250 instruments and 270 test procedures specific to this company. Now almost 3 years since entering this partnership, the benefits to using IPS are clearly evident.
Before
The Company employed 40 employees in two research testing labs
The Company was billing internal customers for over 30,000 hours/yr.
After
The Company reduced its staff by 35 employees -- saving on direct labor costs
IPS is billing the company for approximately 24,000 hours/yr.
Net savings for The Company are approximately $2 MM/yr.
Case 2: IPS is the Primary Provider for a Paper Company spun off from a Fortune 150 Company
In 2007, a Paper Company was spun off from a large U.S. firm. The Paper Company hosted labs at its mills but did not have a central lab to support its research or higher technical level technical problems. IPS was recommended to the Paper Company by the firm they were spun off from. The Paper Company visited IPS and decided to utilize our services and to forego creating a central lab. This saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment, space and personnel operating costs.
Case 3: IPS is the Primary Provider for a Industrial OEM Equipment Supplier
As part of their normal technical support for customers, a U.S. OEM Equipment Supplier often provides in plant support. Lacking a lab to conduct the needed pulp and paper tests, the Equipment Supplier turned to IPS as its testing partner. IPS has provided ongoing testing support now for over 4 years, which has saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars in developing a testing laboratory.
