About Us

We are a trusted and reliable member-owned network of independent building materials distributors serving the United States and Canada. Independent Distributor Alliance Corporation (IDAC), with our highly respected contractor relationships, deep inventories, strategic distribution systems, and local market knowledge, consistently delivers true value.

History

IDAC’s roots run deep. In 2022, two industry leaders, American Wholesale and Building Suppliers Corporation, LLC, recognizing their shared commitment to best business practices, supplier relationships, community focus, and more, came together to form Independent Distributor Alliance Corporation. Combined, the two organizations have brought more than 70 years of experience, stability, and strength to IDAC.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, IDAC thrives on a culture of continuous improvement to our trusted suppliers, our distributor shareholders, and their contractor customers. We partner with the leading manufacturers in the world. With a high-end product emphasis, we act as an extension of our supplier’s brand and marketing strategy to the residential and commercial markets.

From the beginning, our primary goals have included providing effective education for all employees, sharing best practices designed to improve operations, and effectively supporting suppliers to the building material industry.

Our Focus

“Erie Materials was a founding member of American Wholesale. For the past 40 years, the ownership and strategic managers of Erie have grown and developed through this association. The AWL/IDAC organization has provided a platform to cultivate relationships with fellow members as well as strategic vendor partners. We are a better company as a result.”
