Over 40 years of IAB. Every stage of our history marks progress. Our goal is the future. We invite you to accompany us.
Historically grown
Since our humble beginnings, we have constantly evolved. With foresight and empathy, as is common for many family-run businesses, we have constantly improved and optimised.

Cleanroom only
The product range is completely converted to cleanroom requirements. This is also reflected in the corporate design of the time.

„IAB has grown to become an important contact for cleanroom accessories. Because our expertise is increasing year by year.“
