Avnet, a leading global technology distributor and solutions provider, has inaugurated a new integration facility in Singapore to bolster supply chain resilience across the Asia-Pacific region. This facility, part of Avnet Integrated Solutions, aims to expand the company’s regional integration capabilities, supporting customers’ “China-plus-one” strategy by offering increased flexibility and supply chain options.
The Singapore site is Avnet’s sixth integration facility worldwide, joining others in the US, Mexico, Germany, and China. Located within Avnet’s existing Farnell Distribution Centre, the facility will support system server and rack build services, alongside international shipping. It is certified under Singapore Customs’ Secure Trade Partnership programme and is pursuing ISO 9001 certification.
Rebeca Obregon, President of Global Farnell and Integrated Solutions, stated, “The opening of our Singapore integration facility is a direct response to how our customers are rethinking their global supply chains.” She emphasised Singapore’s critical role in connecting regional and global operations, providing customers with greater flexibility and faster access to localised support.
Spanning approximately 670 square metres, the facility includes dedicated integration space, warehousing, a repair depot, and a first article lab. The design allows for future expansion to meet growing customer demand. This strategic investment in Singapore is part of Avnet’s commitment to helping customers manage risk, optimise cost structures, and accelerate time to market in an increasingly complex global market.
