Supporting Critical Services during COVID-19

Through this difficult time of Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are continuing to monitor the global developments regarding the outbreak and are taking necessary steps in line with the World Health Organisation and government guidance in each of the countries in which we operate. We are putting the safety of our people first whilst ensuring as little disruption as possible to our customers. Here is a statement from our CEO Lindsley Ruth.

"I have never been more proud of our people than in seeing them pull together during this time of international crisis. As well as taking care of each other and developing new ways for us to support our customers, many of whom are on the front line in critical industries, they have gone above and beyond to join the broader fight against COVID-19. There are a great many innovative initiatives happening in our businesses around the world and I send my encouragement and thanks to everyone that is playing their part. During difficult times like this we must all pull together, and it is together we will find the quickest path to recovery."- Lindsley Ruth, CEO, Electrocomponents plc

3D Printing Farm 

We have developed a 3D printing farm in Corby, Northamptonshire, aiming to produce over 1000 PPE visor frames a week. The National 3D Printing Society have loaned several of their machines to support this initiative aimed at adding to the number of 3D printers producing visor frames for use by health professionals across the country. Working together we have the same goal; to keep frontline staff, health workers and patients safe. The N3DPS has a Just Giving page for any donations to help towards these costs. 

National 3D Printing Society Partnership 

We are proud to have donated 400kg of PLA filament to the National 3D Printing Society (N3DPS) as part of a new partnership between N3DPS, RS Components and DesignSpark. This donation will produce up to 20,000 visor frames for frontline medical workers. 

The N3DPS is a non-profit social enterprise who are donating 3D printer filament. Their distribution network ensures the community produced PPE is sanitised and safely delivered to those who need it.
