Microsemi Corporation MSCC on Wednesday declared Arrow Electronics, Inc. ARW as its leading global distributor, thus further deepening its 40-year old relationship with Arrow.

Arrow will now help the semiconductor giant to further strengthen its position in its served markets that encompass aerospace and defense, data center, communications and industrial markets.

Given the long-standing relationship between the two companies, it goes without saying that both know each other’s strengths and ways to capitalize on them. It appears that Microsemi has decided to leverage Arrow’s global sales, marketing, technical and logistical expertise in global markets. Arrow, on the other hand, looks to strengthen its go-to-market strategy, which it believes perfectly complements Microsemi’s comprehensive product portfolio.

"Arrow is uniquely positioned to accelerate Microsemi's growth in our target markets and we value our deep ties as we embark on this exciting next phase," said Rick Goerner, executive vice president of corporate marketing and worldwide sales for Microsemi.

Microsemi’s semiconductors are used in communications, defense and security, data center, aerospace and industrial markets. Its large portfolio of products include FPGAs, ASICs, SoCs, timing and synchronization devices and precise time solutions, power management products, RF solutions, discrete components, voice processing devices, enterprise storage and communication solutions, Ethernet solutions, Power-over-Ethernet ICs and midspans, security technologies and scalable anti-tamper products and custom design capabilities and services.

Arrow Electronics offers products, services and solutions to enterprise, computing and electronic components markets. The company is a supply channel partner for more than 100,000 OEMs, contract manufacturers and commercial customers. It operates across more than 460 locations and serves over 85 countries.
