As a community of independent electrical wholesale companies, we create connections: Between our suppliers and our customers throughout Europe, but above all between our members. Through the cooperation of our like-minded wholesalers, new strategies and solutions are created – and these benefit suppliers, members and customers alike.

Managing Director IDEE
I am Jean-Philippe Dieudonné, the managing Director of IDEE GmbH since April 2021. Together with the IDEE-HQ team, it is a great honour and privilege to lead the next years of the already very successful and strong IDEE history. Our 13 members acting in 17 countries across Europe are leading players in their respective markets. They have been able to demonstrate the last couple of years, that despite the ongoing challenges, being private and family-owned companies, since many generations, with a solid entrepreneurial mentality, make them even stronger in achieving a regular growth. All our members are keen on learning from each other and sharing best practices for the benefit of the group. Our structure and organisation make us unique and different, but with the same target: adding value for our members and our contract suppliers.
The IDEE-HQ team, is working daily on making sure we increased the involvement and commitment of our members, ensuring the alignment on the IDEE strategy and working hand in hand with our suppliers. We have been engaging in a lot of activities and projects, which will continue the transformation of IDEE and make us a reference as a marketing group of independent wholesalers.
We enable a competitive alternative to multinational companies for our members from the electrical wholesale and their customers. With a high level of competence and concentration on core activities, we bring high-quality, consulting-intensive products to regional markets throughout Europe. Our suppliers benefit from the professional and personal proximity between our member companies and their customers in industry and the electrical installation trade - because all business is local.
We provide the best wholesale experience within Europe and within each national market: We offer our member companies the best prices and conditions, and for our suppliers from the industry we are the one, essential partner. With jointly developed logistics and marketing strategies, we bring their products to all relevant European markets, increasing our group's market share at the same time.
Our product ranges are tailored to the requirements of professionals in the installation trade and industry. With a wide range of services, we support our business partners in selecting, planning and advising their own customers.
We rely on leading suppliers who can deliver high-quality products at any time. So that we can always offer our customers the best solution on the market.
We buy together, but most importantly we develop our offer together. We can do this because we consistently avoid competition between our wholesale companies and promote exchange and cooperation even more consistently. This is how we provide the best performance for customers and suppliers.
We negotiate in many languages, but we speak with one voice. This allows us to convincingly represent the interests of our suppliers, customers and members.
IDEE is one of the biggest indepent purchasing and marketing groups in electrical wholesale.
