RS earns two new top distributor awards
RS earned recognition in Supply Chain Connect’s 2025 Top 50 Authorized North American Distributors and Global Electronics Distributors reports.
FORT WORTH, Texas, September 17, 2025 - RS, a high-service global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, was recently ranked 13th amongst the 2025 Top 50 Authorized North American Electronics Distributors and 16th amongst the 2025 Top 50 Global Electronics Distributors.
Conferred by Supply Chain Connect — a trusted resource for supply chain technology and business news, insights, and analysis, as well as key industry connections — these rankings date back to 2010, when they were published as the annual Top 50 Electronics Distributors report. Supply Chain Connect has since expanded upon these initial reports, additionally publishing Top 50 lists for North American, European, Asia-Pacific, industrial, women-owned, and independent electronics distributors reports in select years.
Each Supply Chain Connect report comprehensively evaluates distributors in terms of global or regional coverage and revenue, operational infrastructure, and channel influence and is widely viewed as a key benchmark within the electronics distribution industry.
"We're very proud to have earned recognition in the 2025 Top 50 Authorized North American and Global Electronics Distributors reports," said Frank Cantwell, Vice President of Product, Supply Chain, and Logistics at RS Americas. "RS is consistently involved in initiatives aimed at enhancing flexibility, redundancy, and agility within our supply chain, adjusting to the constantly evolving industry dynamics, and reducing any adverse effects on our operations, clients, and revenue. In order to maintain our dedication to achieving high levels of customer satisfaction and fostering sustainable, long-term growth, we are taking all necessary measures to shield our operations from geopolitical disturbances, tariffs, and extended lead times."
