In our EMEA region, where our electronic components group continues to grow faster than the market, revenue increased 32% in constant currency and organic revenue was up 17%,” said Bill Amelio, CEO of Avnet. “Our digital initiatives continue to gain traction as Premier Farnell’s Element 14 community surpassed 500 thousand members and we continue to add over 30 thousand new digital customers each month.
