History of RS




From a lock-up garage in North-West London, J H Waring and P M Sebestyen established a company called Radiospares Limited, which began operating from a small building in nearby Birchington Road, supplying radio repair shops with spare parts for radios. It was from there that RS began its journey to becoming the market leader it is today.

A replacement part for every job!
From the very first day of trading, in 1937, RS had the simple objective to provide a replacement part for every job. For more than 60 years RS has been dedicated to a single purpose: service excellence.

In that time, RS has become Europe's leading distributor of electronic, electrical and mechanical components, health and safety products, and associated tools.

Keeping ahead of new developments
As times have changed so has RS. As new technologies have emerged, RS has embraced them. Today, I.T. and communications products are pre-eminent and RS keeps ahead with new product introductions and innovations that enter the market.

Supporting engineers all over the world
RS now has operating companies based in over 25 countries, including France, Italy, Germany and Denmark, with operations as far afield as Chile, America and China, and distributes to over 160 countries worldwide.
