About REXEL

Rexel is a French listed group specializing in the distribution of electrical products, solutions and services for residential, commercial and industrial end-markets. Founded in France in 1967 as Compagnie de Distribution de Matériel Électrique (CDME), the company grew through a combination of organic expansion and acquisitions before adopting the Rexel brand in the 1990s. Over time, it expanded across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific and became one of the world’s leading distributors of low- and ultra-low-voltage electrical equipment. In 2024, Rexel operated in 19 countries, with a network of 1,951 branches, 68 logistics centers and more than 27,000 employees. The group generated sales of €19.3 billion, with 32% of revenue coming from online channels, underscoring a high degree of digitalization in its business model. Rexel’s offering spans a broad range of product families and solutions, including cables, lighting, safety, automation, power distribution and energy management, datacom, electric heating, heat pumps, ventilation, EV charging systems, solar products, tools, software applications and related services. The company positions itself as a key enabler of the energy transition, supporting electrification, renovation, energy efficiency and automation projects across buildings and industrial sites. Its model relies on customer proximity, wide product availability and value-added services such as logistics, technical support, audits, training and digital tools. Geographically, Rexel is heavily exposed to Europe and North America, which account for the bulk of its sales. The group also emphasizes a structured ESG strategy, with SBTi-approved climate targets and a net-zero ambition by 2050. Thanks to its scale, distribution footprint and execution capabilities, Rexel is regarded as a benchmark player in electrical distribution, well positioned to benefit from long-term trends linked to electrification and decarbonization.
