History

Over 75 years ago, HAVAM B.V. was established in Venlo, The Netherlands, a technical import and trade company in automotive materials and industrial products. During the seventies a seperate division was set up for the industrial components and systems: HAVAM Industrial Division. Over time this Industrial Division more and more defined its own profile as its function extended beyond just supplying industrial products. 

Growing understanding of the various industrial markets with their market specific issues and special desires meant Industrial Division became a full-grown partner for the entire Dutch industry market. To give this division an individual corporate profile in 1991 IPAR Industrial Partners b.v. was established. In its company name is included the core business of IPAR, namely that IPAR is most and for all an industrial partner, working from the perspective of the customer.

At the end of 2007 international expansion was established by taking over the industrial activities of Van Heck Interpièces, formerly Interpièces-Industrie, in Vilvoorde, Belgium. Since then IPAR is actively covering the entire Benelux market, with various customers in all three countries. In 2008 the international character of IPAR is further reinforced by adopting the current house style and tone of voice, which does justice to what IPAR stands for: Your 1-stop solution.
