RS Components renews DB Schenker contract for a further 12 months

RS Components has reinforced its working relationship with DB Schenker, provider of European land distribution services across eight countries, by renewing its contract with them for a further 12 months. RS Components is one of the world's leading distributors of electronic, electrical, electromechanical and industrial products, offering a breadth of over 350,000 different product lines.

Schenker Limited and RS Components have been working together since 1998 and have built up considerable traffic levels. Last year in excess of seven million kgs were shipped via Nuneaton from the UK to the various European destinations. In addition, around 675,000 kgs of import deliveries were shipped from RS branches and suppliers throughout Europe and Scandinavia back to the United Kingdom.

“In the high service environment of RS components speed and reliability are key, as is delivering value for money. The re-signing of this contract reflects DB Schenker’s ability to help us do that,” says Anne Bruggink, General Manager Supply Chain, Logistics and Facilities, RS Components.

"Our strategic understanding of RS Components’ service requirements means we are able to provide them with the kind of service standards they need in order to support their demanding customer base Europe-wide. We are committed to maintaining transit times within our own network thereby providing a complete service without the need for third party intervention," says Jochen Mueller, Managing Director, Schenker Limited.
