IPG is a full-service Importer/exporter focused on studying, and taking pride in knowledge of local and foreign market conditions day in and day out. Our focus is on how to deliver the right product to the right customer, at the right time, enabling profits for everyone involved.

Through shipment tracking, highly-detailed logistics planning, and constant overseas communication, IPG is able to give our customers an edge when it comes to timing.

IPG’s industry leading Inspectors are in the fields, groves, and plants day-in-and-day-out scouting and selecting the best products based on market requirements and customers’ specifications. Our inspection team, like our sales staff, is customer-driven. They make selections based on knowledge of overall foreign market tastes while honoring customer-specified requirements.
