What is AluPro
Everything You Can Build with Flexpipe— Built Better
AluPro is IPS’s modular aluminum framing system, purpose-built for lean manufacturing environments. Engineers use it to design and build the line-side equipment that keeps production moving: flow racks, material handling carts, assembly workstations, and storage systems that reconfigure as fast as your line changes
Every system is designed in-house by our engineering team and delivered fully assembled or kitted for your build team, ready to install without welding or fabrication.
Why Manufacturers are Switching
The Key Benefits of AluPro
These are the differences engineers and plant managers notice most after their first AluPro build.
01 — Aesthetics
It looks the part
AluPro’s clean aluminum profile integrates seamlessly with the automation equipment already on your floor. No visual mismatch between your automation equipment and your line-side racks. When a customer walks your facility, it shows
02 — Productivity
Your team builds faster
Fewer SKUs and simpler pre-assembled connectors that lock in at precise right angles saves your team time and headaches. Most AluPro builds go up faster than equivalent pipe-and-joint structures — and reconfiguring as your line changes takes minutes, not days.
03 — Performance
Lighter, stronger, recyclable
A fraction of the weight of steel pipe. Corrosion-resistant, ESD-safe, and 100% recyclable. AluPro’s strength-to-weight ratio outperforms Flexpipe in lean manufacturing applications.
04 — Support
Engineering that stays with you
Most pipe & joint suppliers send one preliminary drawing and wait for an order. IPS works with your team through revisions, refinements, and on-site validation until the system fits your line. We work with you from quote to install.
