AD IESD (US), AD Electrical Canada, and AD Electrical Mexico bring together independent distributors across North America, within the Associated Distributors (AD) group.

IMELCO has been strongly represented in the USA and Canada since 2012, initially through IMARK Electrical (US) and IMARK Canada. This partnership evolved and expanded through the merger of IMARK Electrical and AD’s US electrical division, from the beginning of 2025, unifying members within AD IESD. This merger also brought AD Canada and AD Mexico into the IMELCO group.

AD’s Mission is to help members, supplier partners and associates grow and prosper.

• We help independent distributors outperform national/international chains.
• We help manufacturers build/protect their brands and diversify their channel strategy.
• We help our associates reach their potential and have a great place to work.

AD is a member-owned organization, passionate about bringing growth-oriented independent distributors and best-in-class supplier partners, together with the purpose to outperform the market and to stay ahead of the competition.
