Rexel Today

“Perform & Transform”, Rexel’s roadmap, places the digital transformation of its business model to better serve its customers at the very center of the Group’s strategy: considering the financial results posted, 2019 was an important step in its digital evolution, an asset that proved to be precious in weathering the crisis of 2020. The Group was thus able to rely on solid fundamentals, committed teams, and effective digital tools to adapt to the pandemic’s effects swiftly and in real time.
A factor of resilience, performance, and growth, Rexel’s digitization is the chief means of accelerating its transition to a data-driven company.
Simultaneously, the convergence of the Group’s economic and societal ambitions is materializing: Rexel is strengthening its sustainable development commitments and placing corporate responsibility at the heart of its value creation strategy. The Group is particularly well positioned in the new ecological transition markets, buoyed by attractive structural trends and proven expertise.

In 2019, Rexel posted solid financial results and successfully completed a new step in its transformation. These strengths proved invaluable in weathering the 2020 crisis.
