International expansion

IDE Electric has had a clear international outlook since its earliest days. In 1990, it began operating abroad, adopting a business vision focused on opening new markets, building long-term commercial relationships and providing solutions adapted to the needs of each market.

Today, that track record is reflected in a strong international presence, with operations in more than 90 countries and its own structures in strategic markets such as Germany, Mexico and the United Kingdom. This expansion has enabled the company to strengthen its proximity to customers and distributors, optimise its service capacity and tailor its technical and commercial response to the regulatory and operational requirements of each region.

Europe remains one of IDE’s main international markets, with Central Europe playing a particularly important role. Outside the European Union, the company has consolidated its presence in regions including the Arab countries, Chile, Australia, India, South Africa and Latin America.

IDE’s participates in key projects such as the Panama Canal and the Mecca high speed railway.

In recent years, IDE’s international strategy has been strengthened particularly in Latin America. The creation of its Mexican subsidiary, the opening of a regional distribution warehouse and the addition of a local technical sales team have been key steps in providing a faster, closer service tailored to the region’s electrical market.

Participation in international trade fairs and industry events is also part of this growth strategy. Events such as Expo Eléctrica Internacional in Mexico, Light + Building in Frankfurt and specialist trade fairs such as Middle East Energy in Dubai have enabled the company to present its industrial and residential solutions to professionals from different countries, strengthen its sales network and identify new opportunities for collaboration in key markets.

Over the years, this track record has been recognised through a range of awards acknowledging IDE’s growth in international markets, its capacity for innovation and its commitment to internationalisation.
