Arrow Electronics today announced the launch of Capstone, a global business dedicated to interconnect, passives, and electromechanics (IP&E) products, solutions and services.

With Capstone, Arrow creates a focused and specialized go-to-market approach for IP&E as that technology segment becomes more critical for system performance, reliability, and supply continuity.

Capstone is designed to make IP&E easy to specify, source, and scale. Customers will gain the benefit of dedicated IP&E coverage, fast decision-making, and broad execution support across the full on-board and off-board electrical system.

By operating under a focused brand, Capstone gives customers more specialized support, from design-in through production. The result is a strong platform for improving design choices, reducing execution risk, and helping customers scale.

The launch of Capstone is part of a broader realignment of Arrow’s global components business, moving from a geography operating model to a technology operating model. The realignment builds on three distinct go-to-market motions for semiconductors, IP&E, and supply chain and engineering services. The new model allows each business to focus on specific technologies, helping drive growth for customers, suppliers and Arrow.

“IP&E is a foundational part of every electronic design, and specialization helps customers and suppliers capture greater value,” said Jörg Strughold, chief growth officer, global IP&E and Capstone, Arrow Electronics. “Capstone is a dedicated business with a focused value proposition, giving IP&E even greater visibility and a definite market identity while remaining connected to Arrow’s semiconductor, engineering, digital, and supply chain capabilities.”
