Doing an Aldi Low-cost German electronics retailer enters UK market with value proposition
Reichelt, a successful German online retailer for electronics, automation and computer accessories, is entering the UK market with an English e-commerce site and delivery service for businesses and consumers. The company was established in Germany in 1969 and has become a market leader as a result of its competitive pricing and high stock availability. It has more than 220 employees at its German logistics centre in Sande (Friesland) and currently generates annual revenues of around 125m Euro. Reichelt hopes to emulate the UK success of German grocery retailers, such as Aldi and Lidl, by offering lower prices than competitors. CEO Ulf Timmermann says it is offering many of its products for 20% less than UK rivals such as Maplin, Mouser, RS and CPC-Farnell. He said: “We supply business customers in the electronics and engineering sectors, from laboratories to workshops, education and IT, but we also meet the needs of the consumer audience. There’s a growing ‘makers movement’ in the UK and we are able to serve As an added incentive to buyers, it offers discounts for bulk buying their needs, as well as businesses’, at prices lower than in Maplin, for on certain products and VAT-free invoicing. instance, but at a higher quality than they might find when importing Reichelt’s aggressive growth plans include a €9 million investment from other international suppliers.” in a third warehouse.

Especially with interactive screen devices, where the user stands close to the display, higher screen TPresolution becomes important.” Brands of Office Papers She adds that for businesses that truly believe bigger is better there is always the option to utilise a whole wall. “Interactivity no longer stops at one single interactive display or projector. Some corporates are looking into edge-blended projectors or even touch video walls to create one big interactive surface. Companies with a focus on creative work love the idea of a space which becomes their ‘pulsing hub’ fostering all their creative talent.” At the same time, the emergence of smaller spaces for meetings, so called ‘huddle rooms’, has created demand for smaller screens, like the 40-inch DigiEasel interactive display launched last year by InFocus. Commenting at the time of its release, Robert Detwiler, product marketing manager at InFocus, said: “We’ve all used big paper easels or dirty, old whiteboards in corners of the office or little huddle rooms when we’ve needed to spend a few minutes strategising, brainstorming or confirming plans. DigiEasel’s digital whiteboard lets you skip the search for a marker and instead lets you save your written notes to reference later and do so much more – just try surfing the Web on a giant pad of paper.”
