Thermoplastics manufacturer serving municipal, industrial, and residential markets across North America
IPEX manufactures thermoplastics products and accessories at scale across North America, operating 1,000+ employees with manufacturing-heavy hiring (46% of active roles in production and maintenance). The tech stack—ControlLogix, Fanuc, Siemens PLCs, SAP ERP, MES, and SCADA—reflects a traditional industrial operations footprint, with an active migration to SAP S/4HANA underway. Pain-point pattern (downtime, scrap, automation reliability, safety) and project list (5S programs, production optimization, data governance) signal operational maturity challenges typical of scaling discrete manufacturing.
IPEX is the North American subsidiary of Aliaxis, a global thermoplastics supplier. The company designs and manufactures products for municipal water, industrial process, commercial HVAC, and residential plumbing applications. With manufacturing facilities and distribution centers across Canada and the US, plus a dedicated research center, IPEX operates an integrated supply chain spanning design (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), production (Fanuc robotics, ControlLogix automation, MES tracking), and logistics. Sales and service teams support commercial and contractor channels; ongoing projects include CRM adoption for sales tracking, SAP modernization, and process optimization initiatives.
IPEX uses ControlLogix and Allen-Bradley PLCs, Fanuc and Siemens automation, MES and SCADA systems for production, SAP ERP (migrating to S/4HANA), and design tools including SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
IPEX is headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. The company hires across Canada and the United States.
