“Reach Further is our promise that Avnet and each of our employees will do whatever it takes to guide customers and partners toward their most ambitious goals,” said Avnet Chief Marketing Officer Kevin Sellers. “A brand is more than a marketing campaign, it is an authentic expression of the character and values of the company. The Reach Further mantra reflects a solemn commitment Avnet is making to makers, inventors, entrepreneurs, design engineers and suppliers.”

Avnet helps companies around the world realize technology–s potential to transform business, and our new brand symbolizes our promise to help them reach further in pursuit of their highest aspirations.”
