IBC Industrial Buying Group Distributor Members
IBC distributor members are embedded in the industrial supply marketplace. As independent distributors, they hold a competitive advantage over big box and national distributors in the areas of personal service and relationship management. As a group, our members conduct business with a myriad of end-user accounts in the automotive, aerospace, power generation, food and beverage, medical, chemical and paper industries, and others in the U.S. and parts of Mexico and the Caribbean.

Many of the world’s leading suppliers come to IBC to reach industrial buyers in the automotive, aerospace, power generation, food and beverage, medical, chemical and paper, and other industries. Our supplier recruitment efforts are focused on securing trusted suppliers, both large and small, to round out our portfolio of name brand products for the metalworking MROP, material handling, safety, janitorial and sanitation end users served by our distributor members.
