Navitas Semiconductor announced an expanded distribution agreement with Avnet, establishing Avnet as a globally franchised strategic distribution partner.
The move is part of Navitas’ ongoing consolidation of franchised distribution and significantly broadens its channel presence through Avnet, one of the world’s largest electronic component distributors. It follows strong traction by Avnet Silica in serving customers across Europe.
Under the agreement, Avnet will provide technical and commercial support for Navitas’ GaN and SiC high-voltage, high-power wide bandgap devices. The partnership is intended to accelerate deployments in AI data centers, high-performance computing, renewable energy, grid infrastructure and industrial electrification.
The consolidated model allows customers to benefit from regional specialists such as Avnet Silica in Europe, while gaining a globally aligned framework with Avnet across all geographies for fast access to Navitas products and consistent, expert technical support.
“This builds considerably on the successful role that Avnet Silica has played in reaching and developing our strategically important European customers,” said Alessandro Squeri, Vice President Global Distribution, Operations & Transformation, Navitas. “As we consolidate our distribution network to align with high-power market focus, expanding Avnet’s franchise globally was a natural next step, and their engineering expertise, global reach and deep customer relationships make them an ideal partner to accelerate adoption of our GaN and SiC platforms worldwide.”
“The global expansion of the Avnet Silica partnership is testament to the strength of our teams in supporting customers in these demanding high-power markets,” said Alex Iuorio, Senior Vice President, Global Supplier Development, Avnet. “Navitas’ leadership in wide bandgap innovation aligns strongly with Avnet’s commitment to enabling advanced, energy-efficient solutions. We look forward to extending this collaboration as customers drive the next wave of electrification and high-performance power design.”
