RS Group launches RS Safety Solutions

RS Group plc announced the launch of RS Safety Solutions as a new brand within the RS Group.


RS Safety SolutionsRS Safety Solutions brings together the existing RS personal protection equipment (PPE) capabilities with the operations of Needlers and Liscombe, both of which are based in the U.K.

RS Group acquired Needlers in 2020 and Liscombe in 2021. Needlers largely serves the food processing industry with PPE and hygiene products and Liscombe primarily operates in industrial sectors. This union offers a deep technical experience and combines over 300 years of expertise in this field, the company said.

The combination of the two businesses within RS Safety Solutions will enable the leveraging of their respective strengths to serve customers in industrial and food processing markets and address their requirements for PPE and safety and hygiene equipment. The unification also bolsters the huge potential for each of the forerunner operations and strengthens RS’ position as a major player in the PPE market.

“Following on from changing our name from Electrocomponents to RS Group, this is the latest step on the journey to rebranding all the RS operations,” said Pete Malpas, President EMEA at RS. “By uniting these two growth businesses under RS Safety Solutions, we can now deliver a fantastic offering in PPE, safety, and hygiene products for new and existing customers in industrial and food processing markets, all backed by the RS Group.”

“The launch of RS Safety Solutions is a hugely exciting moment for us,” said Mark Day, managing director at RS Safety Solutions. “Our existing customers will recognize that our combined operations are now clearly part of one extremely well-known brand, which will help to strengthen our product range and give us a truly global reach.”
