Avnet has agreed to purchase the French company DE2 SAS, to strengthen its Avnet Embedded business unit in EMEA. The intention is to combine DE2 with the Avnet Embedded business in France to leverage the expertise and resources of both companies to the benefit of our customers and business partners.

DE2, founded in 2005, has built an excellent reputation as an engineering-rich value added distribution business in the Embedded market. Their major franchises include Microsoft Embedded, Oracle, Interval Zero, Metalogix and Datalight. DE2, like Avnet Embedded, are very focussed on delivering value along with hardware, software, services and solutions to their customers.
