For nearly 30 years, Avnet’s Arizona headquarters has served as a home base for our global operations. Avnet moved into our first Arizona headquarters in 1997, and a lot has changed since then: in our industry, in technology and across our company. Now, as #TeamAvnet settles into our new global headquarters in Tempe, we’re carrying that history with us while creating a space for the next chapter.
