Our Story
We’re proud of our rich history that has shaped IPD Group into what it is today. From our beginnings as the Industrial Products Division under companies like English Electric in the 1950s, GEC in the 1970s, and Alstom in the 1990s, IPD became independent in 2006. Today, with over 650 team members, we remain dedicated to serving the electrical industry and building on the foundation we started decades ago.
