About Us

About IBC

We provide mission-critical alloys that help enable our customers’ mission-critical applications.

Why We Are Unique

IBC is an Indiana-based manufacturer specializing in copper-alloy products for the defense and global commercial markets. We provide unparalleled service to our customers thanks to the depth of our technical expertise and our ability to maintain the highest product quality by operating an integrated facility specializing in copper and copper alloy products in the United States.

Our Franklin, Indiana plant has casting, forging (hammer, press and ring rolling), heat-treating and machining operations and operates from an 83,000 square foot (7,711 meters2) facility on 12 acres (4.8 hectares) of land. There is still room for significant expansion of plant operations on the current site.

We offer our customers a full range of manufacturing and support services including metallurgical engineering, casting, forging, heat treatment and machining. We have strong technical and manufacturing engineering resources in the highly specialized copper alloy industry.

The alloys that we sell include oxygen-free, high conductivity copper (C10100, C10700) beryllium-copper (C17200, C17510 and CCNB) aluminum-bronze alloys (C61400, C62400, C62500, C63000 and C63200) chrome coppers (C18150, C18200) naval bronze (C46400) cupronickels (C70600, C71500) and other specialty copper alloys (such as C18000) and our proprietary beryllium-free Thermal-Mould SuperTM. Along with the alloys we cast, we additionally source copper alloys in cast billet, slab, and ingot from mills in North America, Europe, and Asia, and we convert these into usable industrial products serving the industrial welding, oil and gas, plastic mold, metal melting, marine defense, electronic and industrial equipment markets. We also provide tooling components for the North American automotive industry, the European and North American consumer plastic tooling producers, the global oil and gas service industry, the prime North American submarine and aircraft carrier producers and repair facilities including the US Navy, electronics industries, and general equipment manufacturers. We are an approved forge vendor for General Dynamics Electric Boat and Newport News.
