Hagemeyer is a business-to-business (B2B) distribution services group focusing on the markets for electrical materials, safety and other maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) products in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. It is based in the Netherlands.

More than 90% of Hagemeyer’s total revenue is generated by its core Professional Products and Services (PPS) business. PPS focuses on the value-added business-to-business distribution of electrical parts and supplies, safety goods (such as hard hats and work boots) and other MRO products in some 25 countries across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. The remaining part of Hagemeyer’s revenues is realised by its Agencies/Consumer Electronics (ACE) business, which distributes consumer electronics and branded products in the Netherlands and Australia and luxury goods in a number of countries in Asia.

On 23 November 2007, the board of Hagemeyer agreed to a €3.1 billion takeover offer from larger French rival Rexel. Upon completion of the bid, some of Hagemeyer's units will then be sold on to Sonepar, a privately-held French company in the same sector. Sonepar had previously had its own lower bid for Hagemeyer rejected. [cite news
