How IVEC works

IVEC operates as an industrial agency rather than as a manufacturer or warehouse-based distributor. The company does not maintain its own warehouse and instead works with a network of manufacturers and distributors.

Technical advice and personal customer support form a central part of this model. Depending on the component category, IVEC assists with requirements analysis, component selection, samples and direct coordination with manufacturers.

How IVEC is distinguished from its manufacturing partners

IVEC Industrievertretung E. Cleve OHG is a technical industrial agency and is not the manufacturer of the electronic components presented on its website. Products are supplied by or in cooperation with manufacturers and distribution partners such as KOA, Rubycon, Nidec Components and ZeB. IVEC's role includes technical consultation, sales support and coordination between customers, manufacturers and distributors.

This distinction is derived from IVEC's own description of itself as an industrial agency without its own warehouse and from the separate presentation of the manufacturers it represents.
