Integrated Polypropylene Products (IPP) is a leading brand in South Africa’s polypropylene extrusion and bulk bag manufacturing industry. Over the last year, the company continued to grow its customer base, especially within the agriculture and mining sectors in South Africa. This is a testament to its high-quality products and world-class service delivery.
IPP manufactures and supplies high-quality polypropylene fabric and bulk bags to local and regional markets. The majority of its extrusion and weaving capacity is converted into bulk bags. The company supplies three major sectors – mining, chemicals and agriculture – and has the capacity to manufacture in excess of 3.5 million bulk bags per year.
Sustainability, customer service and quality are the three main pillars of our business model. Through these principles, we can successfully meet our clients’ expectations with superior service delivery. IPP is accredited with a Level 2 B-BBEE rating, which brings numerous benefits to our customers, suppliers and stakeholders.
Commission of new equipment
This past financial year, we invested in our facilities and equipment. IPP embarked on another solar expansion project to further improve our sustainable power generation capabilities and to ensure our facilities benefit from more uptime. IPP has been using solar power for some of the plant’s energy needs, and the bag-making department has benefited from its rainwater harvesting and recycling plant to improve its environmental impact.
Additionally, IPP has developed a food-grade bag manufacturing unit, which will comply with the stringent demands of its food processing clients. The company also invested in small webbing businesses in South Africa and assisted in setting up a second outsourced plant, which is run by two previous employees of IPP. These investments not only boost production capacity and diversify its supplier base but also improve the overall quality and standard of its products.
IPP produces world-class bulk bags
Our bulk bags meet stringent testing requirements and have a minimum 5:1 safety factor rating. Using precision manufacturing and rigorous quality control processes, our bulk bags are extremely safe to use for various applications. IPP holds ISO 9001 certification for quality management and has several UN-certified bulk bag designs, accredited through Ten E.
IPP continually benchmarks itself against international competitors and ensures that it attains quality certifications using globally recognised testing houses like Labordata from Braunschweig, Germany.
We constantly strive to improve sustainability by using in-house recycled material from offcuts and rejected panels. We have contracted an accredited waste management company to handle the non-product waste. The use of solar energy, rainwater harvesting and recycled materials makes IPP one of the most environmentally-friendly bulk bag manufacturers in South Africa.
