IAC

What IAC does

IAC (Industrial Accessories Company) is a vertically integrated industrial EPC contractor and OEM manufacturer headquartered in North Kansas City with a 500,000 sq ft fabrication facility and 250+ employees, including 50+ engineers across structural, civil, mechanical, and electrical disciplines. The company designs, fabricates, and installs air pollution control equipment (baghouses, cartridge and bin-vent dust collectors, dry sorbent injection systems), thermal processing systems (rotary dryers, indirect-fired systems, and the patent-pending Arrayed Drop Tube Calciner platform), pneumatic conveying systems, and bulk material handling and storage equipment. More than 7,500 baghouses are in service worldwide, placing IAC among the top five global baghouse OEMs.

The company operates an enterprise field sales go-to-market targeting mid-market industrial plant owners and operators, generating revenue across three streams: EPC project contracts ranging from $500K to $200M+ with single-source accountability from concept through commissioning, standalone OEM equipment sales, and field services plus a 55,000+ SKU aftermarket parts catalog delivered through the Blue Crew service network and Special OPS commissioning teams. Field construction is self-performed via wholly owned subsidiary Adelphi Construction LC, enabling control of schedule, safety, and quality across the full project lifecycle. Named enterprise engagements include Steel Dynamics ($1.9B EAF flat roll mill in Sinton, Texas), Tokai Carbon Black (SOx-NOx reduction at Addis, Louisiana under an EPA Consent Decree), High Roller Sand (4.5 million tpy frac sand plant in Kermit, Texas, delivered in 7 months), and SDI BioCarbon Solutions (biocarbon for EAF steelmaking).

IAC serves five primary verticals: steel and metals, biomass and biofuels, cement and minerals, power generation, and frac sand/bulk materials. In September 2025, IAC announced a strategic partnership with The Price Companies (TPC) to combine its Drop Tube Calciner technology with TPC's 30+ million tons/year wood chip processing capacity, targeting data centers, manufacturers, and ESG-focused operators with renewable carbon solutions. The company pairs its core equipment portfolio with the Smart Plant IoT remote monitoring system using LoRaWAN connectivity, positioning the installed base as a recurring service and data layer. Safety performance is highlighted by 1,056,980+ combined man-hours without a lost-time incident across IAC and Adelphi Construction.

• CECO Environmental: Specialized industrial air quality and dust collection OEM serving similar industrial verticals (steel, cement, power). Comparable product portfolio in baghouses, scrubbers, and DSI systems and competes for many of the same retrofit and compliance projects.
• Nederman: Industrial air filtration and material handling solutions provider. Comparable dust collection, mist collection, and pneumatic conveying product lines, with overlapping customer base in metalworking, energy, and process industries.
• Flexicon: OEM of pneumatic conveying and bulk material handling systems for industrial processors. Directly comparable to IAC's bulk material handling equipment line and shares customers in cement, minerals, and biomass processing.
• AAF Flanders: Industrial air filtration OEM producing dust collectors, bag filters, and replacement cartridges for similar heavy-industrial customers. Comparable product lines and aftermarket parts business model.

Broad incumbents

• FLSmidth: Large diversified EPC and OEM serving cement, mining, and minerals processing. Comparable as a turnkey industrial EPC contractor in overlapping end markets, though much broader in scope and global reach than IAC.
• Babcock & Wilcox: Industrial EPC contractor and OEM with strong presence in power generation, emissions control, and thermal processing. Overlaps with IAC in air pollution control EPC and thermal systems, though B&W operates at a larger scale.
• Atlas Copco: Global industrial equipment and services group with material handling and air treatment portfolios. Adjacent competition in pneumatic conveying and industrial air solutions, though operates at significantly larger scale across diverse end markets.

Emerging players

• Spraying Systems: Specialized industrial spray and dust suppression technology provider. Adjacent competitor in industrial dust and emissions control with smaller, more focused product set compared to IAC's full baghouse and EPC scope.

Regional players

• Heyl & Patterson: Industrial EPC and bulk material handling OEM historically serving similar mining, minerals, and process industries. Comparable equipment portfolio in thermal processing and material handling though with a more regional US focus.
