'''IDES Inc.''' is a [[plastics]] materials information management company with a [[vertical search|vertical search engine]] for the [[plastics industry]] that only includes plastics-related websites in its index. 

Founded in 1986, IDES manages plastic materials information in the form of technical datasheets for more than 700 global resin manufacturers.  Their flagship product, Prospector, is a search engine that accesses more than 78,000 technical datasheets through a variety of proprietary search technologies designed in-house.  IDES is an acronym for Integrated Design Engineering Systems. 

As a first step to fulfilling that mission, IDES's founder Mike Kmetz developed a new approach to cataloging plastic materials information, which later translated to an online three dimensional database, architectdesigned to hold and display highly technical and complex raw materials information. IDES is now widely recognized as a vertical search engine for plastic materials information and data sheets.  The information IDES manages is accessible on their website, The Plastics Web, and through Prospector.
