IPS uses AluPro and Ecoflex modular framing systems to design and install flow racks, material handling carts, and workstations built specifically for lean production environments.
Unlike standard aluminum extrusions or welded steel, our systems are purpose-built for reconfigurability — so when your line changes, your system changes with it.
We work with facilities of all sizes across North America — and we stand behind every system we build.
Lightweight, durable modular framing designed specifically for lean production — not adapted from structural or automation applications.
Every system is engineered around your specific flow, space, and ergonomic requirements. No off-the-shelf configurations that force tradeoffs.
We handle design and installation end-to-end, or supply components so your team builds in-house. Either way, IPS is behind it.
We see it all the time: a facility with state-of-the-art machinery and talented engineers — held back by a line-side material handling system that nobody thought twice about.
Every extra second spent moving materials is time your competitors can use against you. And when that system breaks down or needs a quick change, the cost doesn’t just hit your bottom line — it hits your customers too.
Your facility is only as efficient as its weakest system.
Getting the right line side storage system shouldn’t be complicated. We learn your line, design around it, and handle everything through to installation — so you’re not managing a project, you’re watching it get built.
Whether you want to collaborate with your engineering team or hand it off entirely, we work the way you work.
Our systems are used across a range of production environments, from line-side delivery to kitting, WIP storage solutions, and ergonomic workstations.
We design modular systems that support material flow, ergonomics, and efficiency across a variety of industries such as automotive, electronics, aerospace, furniture and more.
First in, first out material delivery directly to your production line.
Move parts and components where they're needed, when they're needed.
Ergonomic, configurable stations built around your operators and workflow.
Organized storage that keeps your facility lean, accessible, and easy to reconfigure.
We offer two innovative modular systems – AluPro and Ecoflex, so you always know you’re
getting the solution that fits your budget and out performs the competition.
Prefer to design and build your own flow racks, workstations and lean manufacturing system? IPS can help with that, too.

IPS Material Handling is based in Mississauga, Ontario, and supplies flow racks and lean manufacturing systems to production facilities across North America.
Our team has decades of experience designing and installing custom modular systems — using AluPro and Ecoflex framing to build solutions that are lightweight, durable, and built to reconfigure as your line evolves. We don’t force tradeoffs. We design around what you actually need.
We’ve worked with some of the world’s best manufacturers. Let’s add your facility to the list.
