RS Components og SCHURTER udvider samarbejdet med en global distributionsaftale
Ny global aftale erstatter eksisterende distributionskontrakt i Europa
Februar 2013 - RS Components (RS), handelsmærket hosElectrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), en af verdens førende høj-service distributører af elektronikkomponenter og produkter til vedligeholdelse har underskrevet en global distributionsaftale med SCHURTER, en specialist indenfor design og produktion af elektroniske og elektromekaniske komponenter.
Denne globale aftale udvider omfanget af det eksisterende samarbejde mellem de to virksomheder, som har samarbejdet siden 2002 for at øge salget af SCHURTERs produktportefølje i Europa.
Igennem de to sidste år har virksomhederne intensiveret deres samarbejde, og introduceret mere end 200 nye SCHURTER produktlinjer til RS’ sortiment, hvilket nu omhandler omkring 1.500 komponenter fra producenten inklusiv et sortiment af sikringer, konnektorer og afbrydere, samt input systemer såsom touch paneler og keypads. Alle komponenter er anført i ModelSource, det nye webbaserede komponentbibliotek fra RS, og 3D CAD modeller af mange af disse komponenter er nu også tilgængelige til frit at downloade fra RS’ hjemmeside, eller fra DesignSpark.com, RS’ online forum for ingeniører.
“Tættere samarbejde med RS over de sidste par år har ført til positive, håndgribelige resultater for vores forretning med betydelig dobbeltcifret vækst i centrale regioner i Europa, ” sagde Hans-Rudolf Schurter, chairman og CEO for SCHURTER-gruppen. ”Deres eCommerce strategi er meget imponerende, og vi er overbevist om, at en udvidelse af vores aftale til at dække globalt vil vise sig fordelagtig for både os og for vores kunder.”
Chris Page, Global Offer Director hos RS Components, sagde, “Denne aftale er en anerkendelse af vores succes i Europa med SCHURTER-sortimentet via introduktion af nye produkter og online-initiativer. Tilstedeværelsen af vores 17 globale distributionslagre betyder, at vi er i stand til at levere den samme høje serviceekspertise til alle kunder, lige meget hvor i verden de befinder sig.”
