About
Named Doosan Robotics' Distributor of the Year for North America in 2024, Industrial Automation Supply (IAS) has been a trusted automation and electrical distribution partner serving the OEM and industrial markets in New England since 1993. Based in Portland, ME, IAS is far more than a parts supplier — a team of in-house applications engineers provides consultation, system design support, and sourcing across a catalog of over 500,000 products. Facility managers and general contractors managing industrial facilities, warehouses, and manufacturing operations throughout Maine and the broader New England region rely on IAS for complex electrical and automation challenges that standard distributors cannot address. As Phoenix Contact's Automation Elite Distribution Partner — the brand's highest tier — IAS delivers deep expertise in terminal blocks, industrial connectors, power supplies, and control panel components critical to commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Their Schneider Electric line further supports panelboards, motor controls, and power distribution infrastructure across office, institutional, and industrial properties. The collaborative robotics division, anchored by Platinum-level Doosan distribution, extends IAS's reach into advanced industrial automation and tooling solutions. IAS's applications engineers travel directly to client sites across New England, making them a practical resource for facility managers tackling power quality issues, control system upgrades, motor control center work, or low-voltage system integration. Newly acquired by Airline Hydraulics Corporation, IAS combines 30-plus years of regional expertise with expanded resources and vendor relationships. For facility and property managers sourcing specialized electrical components, automation hardware, or engineering consultation for commercial and industrial projects in the Portland, ME area and beyond, IAS delivers both the inventory depth and the technical staff to keep critical systems running on schedule.
