In 1979, Joe Novogratz founded IDI with a mission: build an insulation distribution company that would supply the market with a wide selection of quality insulation and act as a true, professional resource for independent contractors. For the past 45 years, IDI has grown from 1 location in Minnesota, to having over 60 U.S. locations. IDI has accomplished this growth while remaining a privately owned and operated business, and has solidified itself as America’s Insulation Source.
