RS Components, the trading brand of Electrocomponents, a high service distributor of electronics and maintenance products, has extended its global partnership with the SMC Corporation, a specialist in pneumatics and automation, into Australia and New Zealand.
RS Components will offer 4,600 SMC products across the region and more than 2,200 of these are stocked locally in Australia for next-day delivery.
The range comprises a broad selection of pneumatic equipment including actuators, fittings, filters, regulators, lubricators, tubing, control valves, blow guns, silencers, pressure gauges and flow control equipment.
Through the RS Components eCommerce platform, customers have instant access to SMC products with the ability to view product models in 3D, and to place orders 24 hours-a-day. As a multi-channel supplier, RS Components also offers fax and phone ordering services.
RS Components and SMC will continue to extend their trading partnership over the next few years, incrementally adding SMC pneumatics products to the ANZ range.
Simon Pullinger, RS Components’ Head of Product Management – Maintenance in Australia, said: “Extending our partnership in ANZ benefits both companies, as we get to broaden our offer to Australian mining and related industries, and SMC extend their reach to customers in the region through our various supply channels.”
Peter Newfield, National Marketing Manager of SMC Pneumatics Australia, said: “Combining SMC’s market leading products and technical excellence with RS Components’ superb online customer experience and world class delivery performance means that accessing our range of quality components has never been easier.”
The RS Components and SMC Corporation partnership now extends globally throughout the UK, Europe, the USA, Asia and Oceania.
