Navitas expands global distribution network with Avnet
Navitas Semiconductor Corp of Torrance, CA, USA — which provides GaNFast gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors — has announced an expansion of its distribution agreement with Avnet, making Avnet a globally franchised strategic distribution partner.
The deal is part of the ongoing consolidation of Navitas’ franchised distribution partners and represents a significant expansion of its channel presence with Avnet, one of the world’s largest electronic component distributors. It follows Avnet Silica’s success in reaching European customers.
Avnet will supply technical and commercial expertise for Navitas’ GaN and SiC, high-voltage and high-power wide-bandgap semiconductor devices. This should better support the growth of AI data centers, high-performance computing, renewable energy, grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification.
Navitas says that this consolidation ensures that customers benefit from both regional specialists such as Avnet Silica in Europe and a globally aligned distribution framework with Avnet in all the geographies, giving fast, reliable access to Navitas products, as well as consistent technical support worldwide.
“This builds considerably on the successful role that Avnet Silica has played in reaching and developing our strategically important European customers,” says Alessandro Squeri, VP 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,” he adds.
“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,” says Alex Iuorio, senior VP, global supplier development, Avnet. “Navitas’ leadership in wide-bandgap innovation aligns strongly with Avnet’s commitment to enabling advanced, energy-efficient solutions for our customers,” he adds. “We look forward to further extending this successful collaboration as customers drive the next wave of electrification and high-performance power design.”
