The company was named Rhopoint* to highlight their competence in the ever-evolving world of precision resistors. The first product sold in 1975 was a high-precision wire-wound resistor from General Resistance. These products still represent part of the Rhopoint portfolio today.
Over the past five decades, Rhopoint Components has grown from a British supplier into a trusted international partner with a strong European presence served by German subsidiary, Rhopoint Components GmbH. The company is part of the Rhopoint Group and represents some of the world’s most innovative manufacturers, including long-standing partnerships with Isabellenhütte, VPG Foil resistors , SRT Microcéramique, and many others.
"Reaching our 50th year is a major milestone and a testament to the trust our customers and suppliers have placed in us," said Omer Mirza, Joint Managing Director of Rhopoint Components. "Our commitment to quality, service, and engineering-led support has allowed us to grow consistently while staying focused on the specific technical needs of our customers."
David Beatson, Joint Managing Director, shared his forward-looking vision: "As we look to the future, we see tremendous opportunities in emerging technologies and evolving customer needs. Our investment in expanded product ranges positions us perfectly to support the next generation of engineering innovations. We're committed to being at the forefront of technological advancement while maintaining the technical understanding of customer applications that has always been our hallmark."
The company continues to invest in people, partnerships, and platforms to support the evolving needs of design engineers and procurement professionals. From ultra-precision resistors and high-reliability capacitors to pressure sensors and custom solutions, the company’s product portfolio reflects a clear focus on performance-critical applications.
Mrs Dawn King, Marketing Director at Rhopoint says, “Rhopoint has become a major player in the component distribution market by offering a winning combination of in-house expertise and careful selection of key, global suppliers that can support the most demanding requirements. Some of our internal sales team have been with the company 25+ years and have more familiarity with a manufacturer’s products than the actual manufacturer! As a specialist distributor we can function as a multiplier for supplier, designer and buyer, bringing together a wide range of components from qualified suppliers and facilitating the supply of application specific and custom products where required.”
*The Rhopoint name originates from two ideas. Firstly, the Greek letter ρ (pronounced rho). This is the symbol that represent electrical resistivity; the fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly it resists or conducts electrical current. Secondly the word “point,” in the context of measurement, is defined as a definite measurable position in a scale, thereby signifying precision.
