RRE

Overview

Reed Relays and Electronics India Limited (RRE) is an Indian component manufacturer, formed in 1971 as a joint venture with British manufacturer FR Electronics. The joint venture ended when FR Electronics left the reed switch market. (Details per the reed Relays And Electronics India Ltd page on the IndiaMART website.)

The exact specifics of FR Electronics’ reed switch manufacturing are unclear, as they no longer exist. It is possible that all switch production took place in India since 1971, or that separate production lines existed in both countries, at least initially.
