The event celebrates a significant milestone in the company's history and the many benefits that operating as a truly collective organization will provide for our stakeholders.
FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- RS (formerly Allied Electronics & Automation), a trading brand of RS Group plc (LSE: RS1), a global omni-channel provider of industrial product and service solutions, is celebrating the rebranding of Allied Electronics & Automation as RS with an event for employees and local media.
The Allied rebrand is a key element of an extensive ongoing rebranding strategy engineered to establish a better connection across RS Group's product and service solutions. Today's event celebrates this significant milestone in RS history, the newly expanded footprint of the globally recognized RS brand, and the many benefits that operating as a truly collective organization will provide for our people, customers, suppliers, communities, and shareholders.
The RS brand launch event is expected to welcome around 500 employees to the on-site festivities, while another 1,000 employees from RS offices in North America and all over the world are expected to engage virtually. Presentations by RS executives will focus on the power and potential of the combined global organization and how it will harness the essence of both Allied and RS to continue delivering the same unmatched local service while evolving into a more globally connected group with expanded resources and opportunities. They will also introduce Risoul, a leading distributor of industrial and automation product and service solutions in Mexico that RS Group acquired in January. Other event highlights include employee testimonials and demo stations that highlight RS product and service solutions.
"We're so happy to be celebrating the RS rebrand with our employees today," said Katie Cartwright, RS Vice President of People and Culture, Americas. "We accomplished a lot together last year, and I'm incredibly proud of how well our accomplishments demonstrate our unwavering commitment to creating the best possible environment for our employees to thrive. As RS, we will continue to create a culture that is grounded in high performance, both individually and in teams, and is purpose led — where our people are empowered to bring their true selves to work every day and do their best work. We want working here to be more than just a job. We want it to be a place where you can truly contribute to our company-wide purpose, which is making amazing happen for a better world."
