The perfect partnership

Technology and environment.

Technical progress and environmental protection go hand-in-hand. We see it as our task to avoid hazards for people, to keep low impact on the environment and to conserve resources.

Technical progress and environmental protection go hand-in-hand.

By its successful move into new markets, Rutronik is demonstrating that technical progress and environmental sustainability are not mutually exclusive, but are in fact a perfect match. Rising prices and the need for climate protection are making it more vital than ever before that we should use energy sparingly and with care.

Among the key factors in achieving this are Smart Meters, as they provide more detailed information and greater clarity as to costs, so enabling potential savings to be identified.

Improving energy efficiency also plays a key role in this. Consequently, all manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment are being confronted by demands to cut the current consumption of their products in operation and to reduce power loss in standby mode.

LEDs are far superior to most other lighting methods in terms of energy efficiency, useful life and maintenance requirement, and as such they offer enormous potential for saving energy on lighting. Rutronik was one of the first distributors to position itself as an LED specialist back in the early days, and the company has carried out numerous projects, including one of the first dimmable LED street lighting systems in Europe as well as the complete LED outfitting of a cafe, a supermarket and the casino in Lisbon.

Alongside energy efficiency, renewable energy sources are becoming ever more important. That is why, in addition to design-in support through subsidiary Rusol, Rutronik offers complete photovoltaic plants.

Those are just some of the projects by which we are helping to point the way forward along the path to technical advancement. Come along and join us on it.


Trust without frontiers.

Our Global Key Account Managers provides worldwide customer support.

Rutronik places a Global Key Account Manger at the disposal of every customer with international operations as the central point of contact in all business matters. He or she possesses all the necessary experience, expertise and authority to conduct board-level negotiations and to make decisions. They are then implemented in the countries concerned, where each customer is assigned a permanent local Rutronik account manager. The local account managers work together closely, with all the various threads being pulled together by the Global Key Account Manager. That's what we mean by "all from a single source".

Supplier Management

Rutronik seeks to enter into close, long-term, collaborative partnerships with its manufacturer principals. Our portfolio includes innovative products from leading global manufacturers. Our range sources from two or more manufacturers for each product, so as to provide you with alternatives and to offer a comprehensive selection. In recent years we have been intensifying efforts to harmonize our linecard, as a result of which we are today able to offer the products of almost all our franchise manufacturers worldwide.

 


Sustainability

Technical progress and environmental protection go hand in hand. Responsible and careful use of the environment and natural resources is an integral part of our corporate philosophy.

Technical progress and environmental protection

By successfully tapping into new markets, we are demonstrating that technical progress and environmental compatibility are not mutually exclusive, but rather complement each other perfectly. Since we have a precise understanding of the needs of the industry and are consistently customer-oriented, we align our product portfolio accordingly. As a result, components are now available that incorporate ecological aspects throughout the entire product cycle. With the appropriate components, we support our customers in developing energy-efficient devices and applications that comply with the EU Ecodesign Directive, for example.

The requirements for products from an environmental protection perspective have increased significantly in recent years. Standards and regulations such as RoHS, the EU chemicals regulation REACH, the EU Ecodesign Directive, and international regulations such as China RoHS, TSCA, and Proposition 65 are worth mentioning here. But topics such as IMDS, conflict minerals, WEEE, ELV, and SVHCs are also familiar to us. Our team of experts is always on hand to advise our customers and point out special features of the products.

More than 20 years ago, we invested in a comprehensive environmental management system to ensure that we also contribute to environmental protection in the area of logistics. This system is certified according to DIN ISO 14001. In addition, we rely on efficient and automated processes and minimize the use of packaging materials. Our ESD/Dry-Pack packaging system ensures that no damage occurs to the goods.

Sustainable business relationships through boundless trust

Think global, act local

We think globally and are networked, while at the same time focusing more strongly on the respective regional markets in order to be there for our customers even better. That is why we are strengthening our regional market presence, among other things by building up field application engineering and product marketing expertise at our branches worldwide.

Supplier Management

We strive for close, long-term, and trusting cooperation with our manufacturers. Our portfolio includes innovative products from renowned, world-leading manufacturers. We have two or more manufacturers for each product in our range in order to offer you alternatives and enable you to make a comprehensive selection. In addition, we consider our broadband range to be a contribution to environmental protection: the more components are sourced from a single channel, the less transport is required and the better we are able to coordinate the components with each other in the best possible way.
