Expert know-how in specialty markets

Rexel relies on expert organizations and know-how in order to serve specialty markets. Customers' requirements, whether in the commercial or the industrial markets, converge mainly in the areas of supply reliability and quality, cost optimization, logistical performance, and the availability of solutions adapted to their business line.

Cost management and equipment suitability on a major industrial worksite vary greatly depending on the proper anticipation of supply and its perfect execution. Rexel is involved in projects in the very early stages, often at the time of the call for tender. The partnerships built with the largest manufacturers around the world are the key to sourcing and purchase cost management. Equipment must also comply with customers' specific requirements regarding safety, quality and regulations. Supply reliability and schedule compliance are crucial as well.

Rexel's specialized entities - subsidiaries or services - add their extensive knowledge of these markets to the global strength of the Group, present in 26 countries, in order to offer:

> A wide range of specialized products, particularly in the field of industrial automation and engines, compliant with the strictest requirements;
> Customized logistics solutions, from supply to inventory management, reducing overall supply costs; and
> Strong expertise and energy management equipment to optimize energy efficiency.

In addition to a vertical approach by market segment, major projects require suppliers to adapt to worksite conditions and to customers' activity, all around the world. Within the Group, specialized teams offer them customized services. In Germany, the Group has created twelve Industrial Service Centers in order to meet the needs of industrial and key accounts customers. Rexel also relies on banners with solid vertical expertise, such as Capitol Light in the United States, specializing in hotel, restaurant and retail chain lighting.
