- Arrow Electronics has announced the launch of Capstone, a new global business unit dedicated to interconnect, passive, and electromechanical (IP&E) components.
- This entity will consolidate products, solutions, and services related to these components, supported by a specialized commercial organization designed to address customer needs from the design phase through to production.
The creation of Capstone is part of a broader realignment of Arrow Electronics’ global organization, shifting from an operational model structured by geographic region to one based on technology. The group now distinguishes three core business areas: semiconductors, IP&E components, and supply chain and engineering services.
Through this new structure, Arrow aims to strengthen technical and commercial support for IP&E components—specifically regarding their specification, procurement, and integration into electronic systems. Capstone will remain integrated with the group’s other business units, enabling it to offer customers a comprehensive portfolio that combines passive components, semiconductors, engineering services, and logistics solutions.
IP&E components are used across a wide range of sectors, including data center infrastructure, aerospace and defense, medical, industrial, transportation, and consumer electronics. Arrow also highlights several emerging applications, such as data centers for artificial intelligence, 800V power architectures, edge processing, the “New Space” sector, building security, and autonomous agriculture.
Capstone will feature its own distinct commercial identity and product offering. Its dedicated website and procurement platform are expected to launch in the first quarter of 2027. In the meantime, IP&E products will remain available through the Arrow Electronics website.
The group is showcasing this new business activity at the electronica trade fair—held in Munich from November 10 to 13, 2026—at its stand, C4.420.
