"In today's design anywhere, build anywhere world, the ability to extend our line card for our global customers is critical to helping them take their ideas from design to prototype to production," said Vince Arena, director global supplier management, Avnet. "During a partnership that has grown steadily for almost 30 years, Samtec recognizes the importance of Avnet's end-to-end product development ecosystem and the benefits it provides to our customers. This global franchise will further offer our customers in Asia and across the world the interconnect solutions they need to take their ideas to market."
