Arrow Electronics
"Five Years Out"
US-based global electronics distributor founded in 1935, operating a Robotics Center of Excellence supporting AMR, cobot, and IoT automation solutions.
Arrow Electronics, Inc. is one of the world's largest distributors of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions, headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. Founded in 1935, the company reported 2025 sales of approximately $31 billion and operates across more than 50 countries, serving original equipment manufacturers, value-added resellers, contract manufacturers, and managed service providers. Arrow's core business spans two divisions: Electronic Components and Enterprise Computing Solutions.
Within the industrial and robotics segment, Arrow established a Robotics Center of Excellence (COE) in June 2023, in partnership with its subsidiary eInfochips, to help customers accelerate time-to-market for automation solutions used in manufacturing, digital factories, and logistics environments. The COE collaborates with suppliers including Analog Devices, NVIDIA, and onsemi to develop reference designs and proof-of-concept platforms addressing common robotics tasks such as perception, navigation, and motion planning. Technology platforms leveraged include NVIDIA Jetson developer kits and modules, Isaac Sim, Omniverse, Metropolis, TAO Toolkit, TensorRT, and Triton Inference Server.
Arrow's robotics and automation offerings cover autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), collaborative robots (cobots), and drone systems used for aerial surveillance and logistics delivery. The company provides components, compute platforms, and engineering support for customers designing and deploying these systems. In March 2025, Arrow launched a dedicated Robotics Solutions landing page, a robotics playbook with component recommendations, and a series of technical webinars to help engineering teams navigate the evolving robotics landscape. In May 2026, Arrow hosted technical seminars on AMR system-level design across Southeast Asia, reflecting growing demand in that region.
Arrow's partnership with STMicroelectronics produced a joint industrial AMR reference platform designed to shorten the design cycle from concept to deployment for professional service robots. The company's Industrial expertise page highlights capabilities in vision systems, motion control, and connected production environments.
Arrow Electronics is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ARW and is recognized as a Fortune 150 company. Its headquarters are located at 9201 E. Dry Creek Road, Centennial, Colorado 80112, USA.
