Our History
The International Beverage Dispensing Equipment Association (IBDEA) is an international
non-profit trade association representing companies that sell, lease, rent, manufacture
and service beverage dispensing equipment and supplies.
IBDEA was formed in 1971 as the National Soda Dispensing Equipment Association when
a group of businessmen decided it was in their best interests to share common information
and approach industry-wide problems - focusing on resolutions for the advancement
and furtherance of the beverage dispensing equipment industry. In the early 1980's
the Association's name was changed to the National Beverage Dispensing Equipment
Association to encompass all beverages, and with the new name and broader focus,
IBDEA experienced substantial growth.
In 1996, our name was appropriately enhanced to "International" to acknowledge IBDEA's
members operating throughout the world.
Where We Stand Today
Today, IBDEA has over 250 member companies - both Regular and Associate
- and continues to grow and expand across the U.S. and abroad. The Regular members
are companies that provide equipment, related products and services to restaurants,
bars, taverns, hospitals, schools and other institutions. Associate members manufacture
dispensing equipment, as well as supplies such as CO2, control devices, filtration
equipment, flavors and extracts, cleaning equipment, etc.
