Rubix – a leading pan-European distributor of industrial products and services – has initiated a Group-wide review to streamline and strengthen its supplier management strategy, reinforcing the company’s commitment to meeting customer needs.

This review is driven by Rubix’s focus on exceptional customer service and the importance of supply-chain reliability, product and service availability, and access to technical expertise.

The objective is to ensure strategic suppliers consistently meet the highest standards of performance, quality, and safety.

Rubix will work collaboratively and transparently with suppliers throughout this transition, with the goal of delivering long-term value for all parties.

Commenting on the launch, Spencer Brown, Group VP Category Management, said: “For the benefit of our 220,000 customers across Europe, we want to build deeper partnerships with suppliers who share our vision for excellence and innovation.

“Rubix is a critical link in the supply chain for maintenance, repair, and overhaul products and services.

“With unparalleled scale – spanning 22 markets and more than 750 locations – we make it easier for customers to access everything they need to keep production lines moving.

“For suppliers, we provide an efficient route into the highly-attractive but fragmented and often hard-to-access European MRO market.”

Suppliers interested in participating in the review are invited to attend a dedicated Rubix supplier event in London on 4 February 2026. For more information, visit www.rubix.com/suppliersummit2026
