About Industrial Parts Specialties

Industrial Parts Specialties operates from Port Allen, Louisiana, where it was founded in 1978. The company began when its founders identified a local need for an alternative source of machinery parts that could match or exceed OEM quality at lower cost. That early manual machining focus laid the groundwork for a business that has since expanded into CNC machining, machinery repair, thermal spray coatings, and climate-controlled storage. Today the shop runs a two-shift operation backed by a dedicated support staff. Its equipment roster includes three CNC turning centers (Doosan 700, Doosan 300, SMEC), three CNC mills (OKK VM-5, VM-7, VM-900), seventeen manual engine lathes with swings up to 53 inches, three vertical turret lathes (58 to 123 inches), two horizontal boring mills, multiple grinders, and saws. The repair division handles a volume comparable to all other divisions combined, supported by a full-time customer service representative and detailed repair reports. Thermal spray capabilities are complemented by cylindrical grinding, and a new air-conditioned storage facility offers secure short- and long-term housing for critical equipment. Documented projects include turbine shaft hard-coating for seal areas, repair of nine-stage horizontal split-case pumps, Nagle vertical cooling water pump rebuilds, and extrusion die plates for pelletizers. Technical consulting is offered at no charge, with specialists available for on-site troubleshooting. Industrial Parts Specialties emphasizes self-reliance: its diverse in-house capabilities reduce dependence on outside suppliers, allowing tighter control of quality, cost, and delivery. The company states that its thermal spray shop is the most capable in the region, and that its repair reports set a benchmark for accountability. The mission centers on total customer satisfaction through efficiency, employee involvement, and continuous technology investment.
