Iowa Metal Products, Inc. was formed in 2005 with the acquisition of Langer Manufacturing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Langer produced wire formed products, including milk crates, fan guards, and components for the agricultural industry. The assets of the company were relocated to Belle Plaine, Iowa in a 20,000-sq/ft facility that had formally housed Palco Manufacturing.     In 2007 the assets of Crow Creek Machine in Vinton, Iowa were purchased and relocated to Belle Plaine. This became the foundation for the machined parts division of Iowa Metal Products. CNC machining centers and lathes produce precision-machined components for the food processing, pharmaceutical, forestry and agricultural industries.     Iowa Metal Products is a sister company to Iowa Mold & Engineering, Inc., a plastic injection mold building company. Both companies are privately held by Brad Cook.
