Company Overview

Independent Project Services Ltd. (IPS) specialises in providing consulting services to the dairy industry with a main focus on the whey processing industry. IPS was founded in 1995 by David Van der Werff and operates as a specialist dairy process consulting and project management company.

David and his colleagues in IPS can provide a service that is based on a total involvement from the initial concept design right through to the production phase of the plant. IPS’s strength is that they commission what they help design and unlike a number of other consultants understand how systems operate in a normal factory situation.
