This globally active group of companies is a leading manufacturer of bearings worldwide With 180 locations in over 50 countries, Schaeffler has a worldwide network of manufacturing locations, research and development facilities, engineering offices and training centres.
IADA was formed in 1998 by a select group of independent distributors, with the aim of becoming a nationally networked supplier of MRO supply solutions. The organisation looks for ways to improve the level of service and coverage for their customers and today has 19 members and operates over 50 branches across the UK.
Key to the success of IADA over the past 15 years has been providing locally available stocks and expert technical support. In addition, IADA is working hard to gain new national supply contracts for MRO products and has appointed a dedicated team working on behalf of the members, which has already led to several new contracts being signed over the past few months.
