In the 1970s, colour television became increasingly popular in Germany, especially because of the 1972 Olympic Games and the
football World Cup in 1974.
Exactly in the period between these two major sporting events, in 1973, Helmut Rudel founded Rutronik, which was specialised on the distribution of passive components. Rutronik is now one of Europe’s largest electronics distribution companies and generated sales of €1.28 billion in 2022. Worldwide, the family-owned company now employs more than 1,900 people in over 80 offices, as well as logistics centres in Europe, Austin (Texas), Shanghai, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Thomas Rudel, chief executive and chairman of the board at Rutronik, said: “We are happy and proud to celebrate our 50th anniversary in the electronics industry this year.
