Armor Strip

IBC is a leader in the production of narrow-gauge aluminum strip. IBC's proprietary rolling process is the most efficient in the business. The aluminum strip is mainly used in the production of armored electrical cables for the construction and industrial markets. It provides mechanical protection for the conductors.

Primary Applications:

Armored cables (BX, MC, AC90…)
Flexible metal conduit

Fin Stock

Maximize your finning productivity with IBC's high capacity oscillated coils of continuous, no-weld aluminum fin stock. Oscillated coils are wound like a spool of thread and offer seven to ten times more fin stock per coil than conventional slit pancake coils.

Benefits of Oscillated Coils:

Finning productivity increases due to reduced coil changes and rethreads.
Fin material has smooth edges without burrs (Rolled instead of slit)
Eliminates worker injuries related to lifting and hand loading slit pancake coils
