This acquisition expands IPM’s services to include industry-leading diamond wire sawing capabilities to a broad range of industrial end markets familiar to IPM.
“The acquisition of CES will expand IPM’s service and product offerings to include specialized diamond wire sawing and equipment,” said Dean Flint, CEO of IPM. “Tim Beckman has built CES by leveraging decades of experience in the industry, and we are excited for the partnership between our companies.”

In addition, the transaction gives IPM a new location in the Ohio River Valley.
