International Process Plants (IPP), which buys and sells industrial plants and equipment, has acquired Henkel’s detergent plant in Lomazzo, Italy, in partnership with Maynards, a specialist in industrial liquidation auction services. The plant, which sits on a 4.4-hectare site with 43,000 m² of building space, had been scheduled for closure, despite the Lombardy Region’s attempts to work with Henkel to save it.
