PROFILE |
 |
When it comes to electronic parts distribution, Electrocomponents wrote the book -- and catalog, CD-ROM, and Web site. The company's group of RS Components subsidiaries sells more than 300,000 electric, electronic, mechanical, and health and safety components, products, and tools. Through its well-known "RS Components" and "Radiospares" catalogs and CD-ROMs, Web site, and trade counters (which offer free technical help), Electrocomponents reaches more than 1.5 million engineers and other customers worldwide. Although Europe accounts for almost 85% of sales, Electrocomponents is pushing into Asia and North America, a strategy augmented by its acquisition of US-based Allied Electronics.
