IHC Services Inc. makes machinery.
Corporate history
On December 29, 1944, two partners founded International Manufacturing and Equipment Company, known as IMECO, with an office in Manhattan. It made heavy machinery and spare parts.
In December 1988, IMECO purchased Hofortech Corporation, a Long Island-based company specializing in supplying and maintaining electrical engines for mining, and changed its name to International Hofortech Corporation.
In July 1989, Torno America Inc., a subsidiary of Torno Spa, a large European construction company, bought International Hofortech Corporation and in April 1990 shortened the name to IHC Services. From 1992-97, subsidiaries of Torno Spa purchased shares in IHC Services, and by 1997 Torno SA Holdings, a subsidiary of Torno Spa, owned all stock in the company. In 2005, Alliance Investment Ltd. bought IHC Services, and owns the company today.

One of the founders headed the company until 1989; in 1997, Ezio Testa was appointed CEO; he resigned in October 2006, and no replacement has been named. Over the years, IHC has had offices in Manhattan, Long Island, Milan, Houston, Northern California, Miami and Charlotte, North Carolina.
IHC Services has had many customers, including military and relief organizations, non-governmental organizations and other large entities; for example, the United Nations had been a customer since at least 1989.
