OUR STORY
Built on a Century of Experience
In 1921, Lou Deppen founded Cork Insulated Company in the Chicago area, installing cork and plaster insulation systems for the region's growing industrial base. As the construction industry evolved — moving from natural cork and plaster to modern insulated metal panel (IMP) systems — so did the company.
In 1980, Lou's son Robert Deppen Sr. took the helm and renamed the company Insulated Panel Company (IPANCO), reflecting the shift to the high-performance metal panel systems that have become the industry standard for cold storage, food processing, and industrial facilities.
Today, IPANCO continues the Deppen family tradition: a hands-on approach to every project, long-term relationships with general contractors and facility owners, and an unwavering commitment to quality installation.
