We are RS

We drive innovation for a sustainable industrial future

We are a global provider of products and services that support businesses in designing, building, maintaining and protecting industrial equipment and processes. As your strategic partner, we focus on solving your business challenges – so that you can continue to grow and stay ahead.

We don't just deliver components – we add value through innovation, expertise and inspiration. Together, we find solutions to today's technical challenges and shape tomorrow's opportunities.

Our Purpose - Making Amazing Happen for a Better World

At RS, we support today's and tomorrow's ideas to help people reach their full potential, solve problems and create a better life for all.

We work with customers and suppliers to conduct our business in a responsible and sustainable way. Through our education programmes, we empower individuals and inspire the engineers of the future - from schools to universities - with a focus on STEM subjects.

We believe in making the impossible possible and saying ‘why not’ instead of ‘what if’.

Our Vision

We strive to become the first choice – for employees, customers, suppliers, communities and shareholders. This goal guides everything we do.

Our ambition is to establish ourselves as a global partner for comprehensive solutions – where technological innovation is combined with our expertise in sustainability, as clearly demonstrated in our ESG programme For a Better World.

How do we get there? By living according to shared values that permeate our entire group. These values reflect our global identity, set us apart in the market, and enable us to act consistently throughout the entire value chain:

"We are a team that does the right thing – every day – to improve the future and achieve extraordinary results."
