Our History: Built on Service, Strengthened by Collaboration
IADA was founded in 1998 by a group of successful independent bearing and power transmission distributors who shared a clear vision: to deliver national coverage without losing the exceptional service that defines independent engineering suppliers.
By integrating their systems, stock, and expertise, these companies created a network capable of supporting customers with multiple sites across the UK — while maintaining the personal service, technical knowledge and responsiveness that independents are known for.
Today, IADA continues to grow its branch network, expand its product range, and strengthen its national distribution capabilities. The alliance remains committed to LOCAL STRENGTH backed by NATIONAL POWER, ensuring customers receive the best possible support wherever they operate.
