November 1, 2001 Electrical contractors shopping at Rexel can get their data products there too.
Rexel Inc. (www.rexelusa.com), the United States operations of Rexel SA of France, plans to offer data communications products at its more than 330 local electrical branches.
Called "Conectis," the program will see every one of the local electrical branches stock and sell data communications products. Conectis (pronounced "connect-eece") originated in the mid-1990s at the company's operations in France. The program's target market is the electrical contractor.
"Our current customer base will benefit from our improved warehousing, delivery, and product selection, as well as the additional resources we will be devoting to communication product sales," says Tim Copeland, president of Rexel Datacom.
