It has led to IPC being the oldest continually operated lightning protection manufacturer in the nation. The Cripe Lightning Rod Company, a predecessor company, was founded in the mid-1920’s by Henry H. Cripe and his sons. The company manufactured, installed, and serviced lightning protection systems and began operations out of a barn located on the company’s present facilities in Goshen, Indiana. In 1934 during the Great Depression, son Earnest C. Cripe established Independent Protection Co., Inc. in Goshen, Indiana to manufacture and install lightning protection systems. Independent Protection Co. continues to be a leading manufacturer of structural lightning protection for industrial, commercial, residential, historical buildings and trees.
