Vicor, a leader in innovative high-performance power modular components, has set out to target global customers by signing a distribution agreement with Avnet, a global distributor of electronic components and services.


Vicor announced on the 2nd that it has signed a global franchise agreement to distribute Vicor power modules more widely through Avnet's design and supply chain.

Through this agreement, customers worldwide are expected to experience groundbreaking innovations in Vicor's system performance and scalability.

David Krakauer, Vice President of Industrial Business and Corporate Marketing at Vicor, stated, “Through this agreement, Vicor has gained a great opportunity to effectively target its market together with a global leader. With the collaboration with Avnet, Vicor will establish a leading position to provide its customers, who are seeking to unleash their innovative capabilities, with advanced modular power solutions unlike anything they have experienced before.”

Peggy Carrieres, Vice President of Global Supplier Development at Avnet, stated, “Innovation is necessary for companies seeking to gain a better competitive edge in today’s market. This deal was concluded at a time when an increasing number of customers are seeking opportunities for differentiation.” “Demand for highly power-intensive and efficient solutions is rising in response to customer needs to supply more power in smaller spaces. Vicor power modules will play a significant role as a high-quality solution for these customers,” he said.

This global franchise agreement takes effect immediately. Customers in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region can access Vicor's product portfolio through Avnet Abacus, Avnet's European business unit.
