REXEL: Press Release

Press Release

On July 4, 2022, Rexel received a statement of objections from the French Competition Authority, as a follow-up to the investigations carried out in 2018.

The Competition Authority’s investigators believe that Rexel had implemented practices with some of its suppliers whose purpose was allegedly to restrict its freedom to determine its resale prices. The statement of objection specifically targets the special price agreement (“dérogation”) mechanism, which is a price reduction aimed at providing customers with the most competitive offer. This mechanism is a transparent practice that is known to all market players and is standard practice in the world of professional electrical equipment distribution.

Rexel is currently studying the statement of objections, which in no way prejudges the culpability of the companies involved and is the customary first step in contradictory proceedings before the Competition Authority.

Rexel constantly strives to strictly comply with applicable laws and regulations and the Group will assert its position and its rights within the framework of this procedure.
