With offices in Bromsgrove and Cork, IPP Group, the technical distributor of manufacturing equipment specifically to the electronics, pharmaceutical and medical devices sector has come to agreement with current Cupio Owner and Managing Director Andy Bonner, to wholly purchase Cupio, including associated brand Cupio Services.

Andy and his team will add tremendous value and expertise and we look forward to working closely with them. Particularly, the addition of X-ray and CT products and services will no doubt strengthen the overall IPP product offering.”

Andy Bonner, Managing Director Cupio adds, “I am excited and confident for the future of Cupio as it becomes part of IPP Group. IPP share our intention to provide the very best products available and first-class support services to match. Cupio will be in safe hands.”
