Avnet Inc. announced it has become a franchised distributor for AirBorn, a Molex company, broadening its portfolio of rugged, mission-critical connectors and electronic components for aerospace, defense, space exploration, commercial aviation and other high-reliability markets.
The agreement makes Avnet an authorized source for AirBorn products, which are engineered for demanding environments and trusted in some of the most challenging applications in the world.
Molex acquired AirBorn to expand its aerospace-grade interconnect capabilities. By collaborating with Avnet, Molex will leverage Avnet’s global distribution network to deliver these specialized products to customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and the Americas.
“This agreement with AirBorn enhances our ability to deliver rugged, high-reliability interconnect solutions to customers operating in demanding environments,” said Alex Iuorio, Senior Vice President, Global Supplier Development, Avnet. “It builds on our long-standing relationship with Molex and supports innovation across aerospace, defense and other mission-critical sectors.”
Avnet and Molex have maintained a broad distribution relationship since 1982, when Avnet became the first national distributor for Molex in the Americas. Adding the AirBorn franchise deepens this decades-long collaboration and strengthens their presence in the aerospace and defense markets.
