Integrated Metal Products (IMP) is a custom precision sheet metal manufacturer whose goal is to be a world-class supplier to its customers. IMP is one of our first “Above the Law” sponsors. Not only have they supported us with funding, but they have welcomed our students to their shop, supplied us with all the sheet metal we could need, and been one of our biggest cheerleaders. When our rental trailer caught fire on the way to a competition, IMP bought us a new trailer of our very own so that it would never be a problem again.
