Both platforms are now available in local languages and will accelerate the brand’s continued growth in Southeast Asia.

“We see many opportunities to partner with manufacturers in both Vietnam and Indonesia, two countries at the forefront of grounded industrial sectorsin the region. In order to do so, we are building capabilities that will allow us to continue developing meaningful customer relations throughout the region. This move paves the way for RS Components to consistently deliver a positive experience to our customers and cater to their evolving needs,” says Sean Fredricks, president, Asia-Pacific at RS Components.

The responsive websites provide customers access to over 60,000 products across the industrial and electronics ranges, from leading brands such as RS PRO, Schneider Electric, Phoenix Contact, FLUKE, TE Connectivity, and more. These products are in local stock in Singapore for reliable and consistent delivery dates.

Designed with customer needs in mind, the e-commerce sites offer a personalised experience to help customers quickly find products and bundle options relevant to them. Both sites were built through best-in-class web technology, offering simple and intuitive navigation and a seamless purchasing experience.

Customers with complex industrial requirements can also save time searching and negotiating with multiple suppliers and simplify their procurement process by working with the RS Components team specialising in sourcing products not yet published on the websites.
