RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents, a world-leading high service distributor of electronics and maintenance products, has received the European Distribution Excellence Award from Souriau, a market leader in the design and manufacture of industrial interconnect solutions. The award was presented in recognition of the company's unparalleled contribution to the sales growth of Souriau's existing product lines across the Europe region, and for the rapid introduction to market of the supplier's new product lines.

RS currently stocks over 1,000 Souriau interconnect devices designed for severe environments, from industrial, broad line and universal ranges to complex systems with integrated functions such as filtering, high speed data transmission, hermetic seal, separation mechanism, remote handling and underwater mating. "We are very happy with the great partnership we have with RS at all levels and we are confident that we will continue our shared success story to develop future business opportunities," commented Alexandre Decombejean, Souriau's Pan European Distribution Manager.
