Global footprint Farnell Global operates under multiple regional brands (Farnell in Europe, Newark in North America, element14 in APAC) with 48 localized websites and a direct-to-consumer network, presenting a broad, multi-region opportunity to cross-sell components and leverage regional demand for embedded design, maintenance, and repair.

End-to-end collaboration As part of Avnet since 2016, Farnell offers end-to-end product life cycle support and end-to-end delivery expertise, enabling upsell of design services, prototyping, production integration, and long-term supply chain solutions to customers seeking turnkey support.

Strong partnerships Recent awards and collaborations with Keysight and a focus on NPIs plus the HD3 oscilloscope launch indicate active engagement in high-value test and measurement tooling, suggesting opportunities to bundle instruments with components and design services for accelerated time-to-market.

Growth and leadership Leadership changes with a new president in 2024 and recognition as a highest growth distribution partner in Europe point to strong growth momentum, signaling potential for sales to target fast-growing accounts and capture share in emerging regional markets.

Scale and capability Revenue in the high hundreds of millions and a sizeable employee base combined with a dedicated tech stack (CRM, analytics, advertising, and monitoring tools) indicate capacity to support large, multi-site accounts, maintain robust supply chains, and offer data-driven procurement programs.
