RS Components and Allied Electronics recognise top suppliers

RS Components and Allied Electronics have recognised Siemens, Phoenix Contact, Arduino and Schneider Electric with 2014 Global Supplier Awards. The awards recognise the achievements of selected manufacturers during the past year in four different categories: performance; service excellence; innovation; and partnership.

Siemens was named as the winner of the Performance Award in recognition of the supplier’s efforts to achieve outstanding sales growth in the last 12 months. In the service excellence category, electrical engineering and automation manufacturer Phoenix Contact was honoured for attaining the highest delivery accuracy on over 35,000 orders channelled through RS and Allied globally.

The developers of the Arduino open-source electronics prototyping platform took the award for Innovation, not merely for product innovation, but also for their collaborative work with RS and Allied on exclusive delivery, preferential launch quantities, replenishment lead times and technical and marketing support.

Schneider Electric received the award for partnership for working with RS and Allied to develop their largest ever cooperative sales and marketing initiative targeted at customers globally.
