What are people saying?
-
Elvis and Ralph completed the installation of two urgent COVID-19 orders within 7 days
-
Ariel drove to and completed an installation in Canada
-
Quenten drove from Atlanta to New Orleans
Without hesitation each of these individuals went on to hospitals across the country and even internationally to provide our customers with our specialty uniform distribution solutions. Through these dedicated employees our mission at IPA is possible.
This group stepped up to ensure that our customers were able to get our equipment installed to help with the COVID-19 outbreak. They drove hundreds of miles, put themselves at some risk and did a great job! As a result, IPA will deliver nearly $1MM more in March revenue due, in large part, to their efforts.

Culture & Engagement
Mindfulness May
Maintaining an optimal level of wellness is crucial to live a higher quality life. Wellness matters because everything we do and every emotion we feel relates to our well-being. In turn, our well-being directly affects our productivity. It is important for everyone to achieve optimal wellness in order to subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness and ensure positive interactions.
