Acquisition History

Driven by the globalization of our customers and suppliers and our chosen role as industry consolidator, Avnet's strategic acquisitions continue to ensure that Avnet will not only survive, it will thrive as an industry leader in the 21st century. Ten years and more than 50 acquisitions after our industry consolidation role began, Avnet now serves more than 100,000 customers around the world. Since Roy Vallee assumed the CEO post in 1998, the company has made 34 acquisitions.
