The Strength of IBC Partnership

STRONGER TOGETHER

We’re stronger because we work together in partnership with our suppliers

At IBC, we have always viewed our suppliers as valued partners. Over the years we have developed strong and lasting relationships and are always looking for new ways we can help grow your business through the group.

We commit to your deals and help you build valuable relationships with our members. This mutual arrangement means we can deliver a greater range of products to our members at competitive prices.

With access to more than 180 Independent Merchants, IBC gives our suppliers a greater market penetration in the independent sector. What’s more, we proactively help and support our members through unique marketing initiatives and by introducing our members to new products from our suppliers and making sure they are aware of existing ones.

IBC work closely with the BMF and NMBS
