Arrow Electronics has been recognized by Equinix with the ‘Distributor of the Year 2025’ award for the EMEA region, a distinction that highlights its contribution to the development of innovative digital infrastructures and programs aimed at driving secure customer growth, enhancing global interconnection, and supporting digital transformation processes.
The company receives this recognition for the second consecutive year, reaffirming its ongoing collaboration with Equinix across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Both companies have been working together since 2024, when they signed a distribution agreement for the EMEA region to facilitate channel partners’ integration of Equinix services into integrated solutions related to network optimization, hybrid multicloud environments, and application performance enhancement.
Through this partnership, Arrow’s partners gain access to Equinix’s services, which combine data center colocation, private connections to public cloud providers, and a broad range of interconnection services available at their International Business Exchange data centers worldwide. The agreement also enables these services to be offered, managed, and billed under a recurring monthly subscription model, supported by Arrow’s technical and sales teams.
Mike Worby, Head of Strategic Alliances for EMEA at Arrow’s Enterprise Computing Solutions division, emphasized that since the start of the collaboration, both companies have been working to help channel partners develop more robust digital infrastructure proposals focused on connectivity, cloud, and application performance. He also noted that winning this award for the second year in a row reflects the progress made together in equipping channel partners with business models, technical knowledge, and reach capabilities needed to meet emerging market demands.
Meanwhile, Stefan Diedericks, Vice President of the EMEA Partner Ecosystem at Equinix, highlighted the leadership demonstrated by Arrow and its contribution to the company’s partner ecosystem. According to him, during 2025, the collaboration between the two companies strengthened through close coordination across the EMEA region, leading to successful partner activation initiatives. Diedericks also expressed confidence in continuing to expand this collaboration to generate an even greater impact in the coming years.
