With the creation of the partnership, customers can count on ABB products being available as and when they need them through all of the RS channels including its famous catalogue and its network of Trade Counters and Call and Collect outlets located nationwide.
Customers will also be able to take advantage of a new dedicated ABB landing page on the RS web site at rswww.com/abb, which is due to arrive later this year.
The open day will take place at the RS trade counter at Duddeston Mill Road, Duddeston Mill Industrial Estate, Birmingham, B8 1AP, starting at 9.30am and finishing at 3.30pm.
