It was in 1969 that Frank decided delivering his own products would be much better than hiring someone else to do it for him, so a Bedford TK lorry was bought for the purpose. He rapidly developed into an own account operator of some standing as IAE became one of the leading UK manufacturers of livestock equipment and steel railings. Today IAE is still a family owned company and the original manufacturing facility in Leek, Macclesfield Road, still exists as IAE's main headquarters however the continuous growth and improvements to the company have meant that a major move to nearby Longton in Stoke-On-Trent is gradually taking place.

Years of experience within our sales, drawing office and factories enable IAE to offer an unparalleled service to its customers. Many standard fences are available from stock and on special projects we can advise on the most efficient and best way to supply your design. We are continually working with Architects, Specifiers, Local Government and Contractors and will supply technical drawings for approval when required.
