LAS VEGAS, Nevada, May 26, 2026 - Bourns has named Avnet its 2025 Americas Broadline Distributor of the Year. The recognition was presented during EDS 2026 at Resorts World Las Vegas. Bourns evaluates all Americas channel partners annually across a consistent set of performance criteria, including POS plan attainment, year-over-year revenue growth, design win activity, and market share.
Avnet is the only Broadline distributor in the Bourns Americas channel to surpass both POS plan and grow year-over-year revenue in 2025. This marks Avnet’s second time receiving the award since Bourns established the channel program in 2014.
The recognition also coincides with Avnet’s 60th year as a franchised Bourns distributor — the longest active franchise relationship in the Bourns distribution channel. No other Broadline distributor has held a Bourns franchise for as long.
“In 2025, Avnet was the only Broadline distributor in the Americas that surpassed POS plan and grew year-over-year revenue. Fourteen percent revenue growth and a full point of market share on top of that. Sixty years of franchise history gives that result a lot of context — Avnet is our oldest franchised distributor, and they’re still putting up numbers like this.”
— James Harrington, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, Bourns
