About Us
The Industrial Packaging Alliance of North America (IPANA) was formed in 2003 through a partnership of the organizations representing the nation’s industrial packaging manufacturers.
The industrial packaging groups that formed and make up IPANA are:
- International Fiber Drum Institute (IFDI);
- Plastic Drum Institute (PDI);
- Rigid Intermediate Bulk Container Association (RIBCA); and,
- Industrial Steel Drum Institute (ISDI).
Together, these groups represent the core of industrial packaging in North America and the manufacturing companies that belong to these groups comprise a significant proportion of the industrial packaging capacity on the continent.
