Switching to energy-saving devices can deliver up to 30% energy consumption savings, particularly in lighting which accounts for 19% of world electricity consumption.

Gexpro, a Rexel Group Company, has recently released a guide that offers up advice for MRO buyers looking for ways to help their companies reduce costs related to energy buying.

In the guide, Gexpro, an electrical products distributor, also helps buyers with ways to add value to the bottom line in four major product groups: lighting, occupancy sensors, motors and drives and metering.

The guide advises on a number of specific energy-efficient products to select for these applications in manufacturing, process industries and other businesses.

Also, as part of the company’s service offering, its employees have expertise to help design, create and sustain comprehensive energy initiatives that are said to be good for business and good for the planet.

With $14.7 billion in annual sales, Rexel places first on Industrial Distribution magazine’s Top 10 largest electrical distributors list for 2008.
