The company specializes in manufacturing and delivering commercial and military aircraft components, with a particular focus on aircraft seating systems, crew seating, and related aviation parts. While specific details about the company's founding and complete corporate history are not provided in the contract award data, the firm has established itself as a key supplier to U.S. military and federal agencies, particularly in the aviation and maritime sectors.

The company has consistently secured federal contract awards from agencies such as the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, U.S. Coast Guard, and Naval Supply Systems Command, predominantly providing highly specialized aircraft components. Ipeco's contract awards predominantly involve aircraft seat-related products including headrest assemblies, seat cushions, armrests, seat tracks, guide components, and repair services for military aircraft. Most contracts are non-set-aside awards, though a few have been designated as total small business set-asides. The majority of their work is performed in the United Kingdom, with some production also occurring in Torrance, California. The company serves as both a prime and subcontractor, supplying critical components to aircraft fleets used in maritime patrol, reconnaissance, search and rescue, law enforcement, and environmental protection missions. Notable contract partners have included Lockheed Martin Corp and Sierra Nevada Company, LLC, with contract values ranging from a few hundred dollars to over $100,000, focusing on precise, specialized aviation equipment and maintenance support.
