IPA is Honored to Service Various Disaster Relief Missions
|
 | Since November of 2014, IPA has been working with NetHope, its members, multiple manufacturers, and partners to help provide essential communications equipment that helped facilitate the fight against Ebola in West Africa.
IPA provided warehousing, consolidation and packaging services at our on-site warehouse, as well as global logistics services. This included arranging the pickup of relief goods from over 12 countries around the world. Because of our logistical expertise, we were able to provide a cost-effective solution that ensured supplies were delivered in a timely manner.
Through cooperation with other donating partners, IPA was able to successfully deliver over 18,000 kilograms of equipment to various global locations in just six months. We are so pleased to see recent reports from our clients, announcing that Liberia has been declared Ebola-free. |  | |
In response to the recent earthquakes in Nepal, IPA is working with NetHope to deliver various equipment into the region. The equipment provided aims to improve communication opportunities, for those working to bring aid to the affected areas.
