IPEG

Automation systems for plastics processing

Overview

IPEG acts as Piovan North America’s regional hub for a group of brands that build automated systems to store, move, and process plastics and related powders. The brands cover drying, blending, conveying, dosing, heat transfer, dedusting, and turnkey systems, enabling end-to-end material handling from raw materials to finished processing. It stands out by offering a single regional hub with a broad, multi-brand portfolio and a global footprint, plus strong local service and support. Its goal is to help plastics companies run efficient, automated material handling—from storage to processing—while using post-consumer recycled polymers and keeping local and global support reliable.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Piovan’s 2026 group pages still highlight IPEG, confirming continued strategic importance.
  • North America became Piovan’s largest market after the 2022 IPEG deal.
  • Piovan added Mix & Co and BHT in 2026, signaling continued acquisition support.

What critics are saying

  • Piovan delisted in April 2025, reducing outside scrutiny of IPEG performance and integration.
  • Conair and Thermal Care face entrenched rivals like Wittmann, Struktol, and HB-Thermo.
  • Brand overlap inside Piovan risks cannibalizing IPEG identity and talent by 2026.

What makes IPEG unique
