Welcome IPS Ibérica, the latest addition to the IPS parts distribution network. The Iberian based operation is a 50/50 venture with Spanish manufacturer Matilsa in which replacement parts will be stocked and shipped from their facility in Zaragoza, halfway between Madrid and Barcelona.
This latest addition closely follows the recent South African venture, whereby the same formula will apply. IPS UK supply the systems backup including cross referencing and purchasing, whilst the new company provide the local knowledge, support and the understanding of their market. The company will hold a large inventory of stock for a range of access platforms, and will be supported by a dedicated team of employees.
IPS Ibérica is well situated to supply replacement parts to the surrounding major cities, and benefits from excellent distribution links to the rest of Spain. The operation will be managed by Ignacio Lebrero of Matilsa, who has over 18 years experience within the Spanish access market.

‘IPS Ibérica will further strengthen our position within Europe. We are confident that the excellent location, combined with the collective experience of the Lebrero family will give us the drive we need to reach the Spanish market which has historically been out of IPS’s grasp’, comments Tony Jennings, IPS UK’s Managing Director. ‘These are exciting times for us and we look forward to building our relationships within Spain’.
