IPC Communication Services

IPC Communication Services Inc. is an American company involved in optical disc replication, computer services, printing, and fulfillment, headquartered in St. Joseph, MI. The company was formerly know as Imperial Printing Co., founded in 1949, and was renamed IPC Communication Services in 1996. IPC has run plants in St. Joseph, MI; Austin, TX; Foothill Ranch, CA; and Roncq, France during its existence, although optical disc manufacturing may only have been a small, localised share of its activities. Please note that IPC Communication Services is known to have outsourced glass mastering services to external companies including Technicolor, Camarillo, CA and CMCA. Therefore, this label entry should not be credited with the Glass Mastered At role unless absolutely certain (it is possible that IPC later installed in-house glass mastering equipment); please use Pressed By instead. IPC can also be identified by "IPC/CA USA" or "IPC/CA" printed in the matrix mirror band and/or molded in the clamping ring.
