DHL’s new contract with RS Components builds on a long-standing strategic partnership
DHL Express confirms that it has signed a contract worth GBP 36 million over two years with RS Components, Europe’s leading distributor of electrical, electronic and industrial supplies. The contract marks a new stage in the long-standing relationship between the two companies, which is based on ever-improving service levels and new product initiatives.

The contract signed by Chris Muntwyler, CEO DHL Express UK and Ireland, Klaus Goeldenbot, UK General Manager RS Components, and Frank Peplinski, General Manager RS Supply Chain, ensures that DHL will continue to be RS Component’s express delivery distributor in the UK and Europe for the next two years.

RS Components is one of DHL’s large customers in the UK and the company has built much of their existing client base around DHL’s reliable transportation service. DHL provides a domestic delivery service to RS that involves deliveries to RS customers the length and breadth of the UK – around 15,000 deliveries are made using this service every day. DHL delivers a further 1,500 packages a day to RS customers in Europe, from Scandinavia to southern Europe.
