Global manufacturer of pressure-sensitive tapes, films, and protective packaging

Packaging and Containers Manufacturing Sarasota, Florida 1,001–5,000 employees Privately Held

IPG manufactures a diversified portfolio of tapes, films, and protective packaging solutions across North America and Europe. The tech stack reflects a manufacturing-operations foundation—AS/400, WMS, PLCs, and industrial controls (Allen-Bradley, Siemens)—now shifting toward cloud with Azure adoption and SD-WAN rollout. Hiring is skewed heavily toward manufacturing and plant operations (38 roles), with lean engineering (15) and sales (11), indicating a production-scaled, efficiency-focused operation grappling with yield optimization and waste reduction rather than product innovation.
