Created by Industrial Quick Search (IQS®), IQS Directory is a FREE, comprehensive listing of manufacturers and suppliers serving major segments of the OEM industrial manufacturing marketplace across the United States and Canada. Industrial engineers and buyers rely on IQS Directory to specify products within a series of categories and buy products directly from manufacturers.
Additionally, IQS Directory provides detailed information and news on industrial products. Engineers and buyers view this information and comprehensive manufacturer profiles (including full contact details, request for quotations, and customer reviews) to easily and quickly specify products that meet their exact needs.
IQS Directory offers the ability for engineers and buyers to search within a specific product/service category, within the United States and Canada, and within a specific state or province. For example, visitors can search across an industry category or enter a search keyword or phrase (ex: vacuum pumps), a company name, a geographic location, or a combination of these elements to locate manufacturers that meet their search criteria.
IQS Directory organizes manufacturer profiles and product information within the comprehensive "Search By Industry" and "Site Categories" lists on the home page. Browse these industry categories and product categories or enter a search term within the search bar at the top of any page to find matching manufacturer information.
IQS Directory has a dedicated team of manufacturing experts that review company and product information and assign directory categories based on the type of products and services a company provides. IQS Directory includes hundreds of product categories across major OEM industries that allow engineers and buyers to find exactly what they are looking for as quickly as possible. Directory categories range from very broad (material handling equipment) to very specific (automatic guided vehicles).
Once you browse within an industry/product category or enter a specific term to search on, IQS Directory displays Premium manufacturers/suppliers with a preview of their website, sorted by state if applicable. Additionally, related product categories appear at the top of the results page.
Mouse over a company name in the results list to display corresponding company profile information on the right side of the screen. Click View Company Profile to display more detailed information about a company within the results list. Click Request a Quote to complete and submit a request for quotation from a manufacturer in the list.
Every manufacturer or supplier listed within IQS Directory has a company profile which can be viewed by clicking View Company Profile within search results. Company profiles contain relevant information based on the search terms you entered to view them including contact details, company website, exact geographic location, a description of the company's products, product videos, customer reviews, and relevant articles and press releases related to the company.
Additionally, company profile pages allow you to directly contact a manufacturer via email, share a company profile on social media, find related manufacturers, and view the company's associated product categories. The information included in a company profile is periodically reviewed by the company and IQS Directory to ensure accuracy. Note that not all companies opt to provide all profile details.
The IQS Newsroom (available from the IQS Newsroom link at the top of every page) provides current, reliable news on companies listed in IQS Directory. Additionally, visitors can view information on the latest industry initiatives, upcoming industry events, manufacturing associations, and other topics. News topics and articles are syndicated across a network of industry websites, RSS feeds, social media channels, and online publications.
