Our Heritage

From Co-Generation Pioneers to Global EPC Specialists

IBC Turbo was founded in 1985 by B.H. Leather, with the original focus on the Co-Generation, Independent Power Producers (IPPs), and Municipal Utility Markets. We have designed, supplied, and constructed projects worldwide, with an early emphasis on high-urgency international markets.

From the beginning, IBC has been a "Fast Track Project Specialist". In 1991, the IBC Team formed a pivotal Strategic Partnership with General Electric to take advantage of the rapidly expanding used Gas Turbine retrofit market, as well as the fast-track supply of critical path equipment necessary to facilitate power generation projects.

For decades, we have expanded that range of world-class suppliers to service projects anywhere in the world in an ever-changing marketplace. Today, IBC Turbo continues to provide clients and customers the global expertise necessary to design, scale, and successfully construct power solutions that meet the diverse demands of nearly every conceivable environment.
