TORRANCE, CA, Dec 16, 2025 – Navitas Semiconductor has expanded its distribution agreement with Avnet, making Avnet its global franchised distributor, consolidating Navitas’ sales channel worldwide. The move consolidates Navitas’ franchised distribution partners and extends its sales reach through Avnet’s network. The expansion builds on Avnet Silica’s performance in serving customers across Europe.
Avnet will support Navitas’ GaN and SiC wide bandgap semiconductor devices with technical and commercial expertise. The effort supports deployments in AI data centers, high-performance computing, renewable energy, grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification.
The consolidation allows customers to work with regional teams, such as Avnet Silica in Europe, within an Avnet distribution framework. It provides access to Navitas products and technical support across regions.
“This builds considerably on the successful role that Avnet Silica has played in reaching and developing our strategically important European customers,” said Alessandro Squeri, vice president 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.”
“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,” said Alex Iuorio, senior vice president, 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.
