“Rexel benefited in the third quarter from solid underlying markets as well as accelerating demand for electrification, driven by the high price of energy, especially in Europe,” said Guillaume Texier, CEO. “These results and trends enable us to upgrade our full-year targets for 2022, which should be another record year, both in sales and profitability. Our strong third quarter is also an excellent illustration of how our new strategy, Power Up 2025, allows us to tap into high-growth segments of the electrical materials market, driven by powerful and resilient megatrends such as sustainability, energy transition or resource and labor scarcity.”
