Global technology provider Arrow Electronics has been named Veeam EMEA Aggregator of the Year at the 2026 Veeam EMEA Partner Awards.
The award was presented during Veeam's annual Partner Advisory Council, held in Portugal, that brought together strategic channel leaders from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa to discuss market trends, future strategy and customer requirements. Arrow was recognised for its contribution to expanding Veeam's presence across the region through channel development, enablement and go-to-market execution.
The recognition follows the recent expansion of Arrow's Veeam distribution agreement in EMEA, which added Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland to the companies' existing relationship. The extension broadened access to Veeam's portfolio of data resilience solutions and local support across additional markets, helping customers strengthen backup, recovery, cyber resilience and hybrid cloud data protection strategies.
Nick Bannister, president for Arrow's enterprise computing solutions business in EMEA, said, “This award reflects more than the strength of our collaboration with Veeam. It recognises the evolution of our role in the channel ecosystem. As an aggregator, Arrow builds and scales cloud ecosystems across EMEA, enabling channel partners and helping drive consistent, repeatable growth. By combining platform capabilities, enablement and regional scale, we help our channel partners accelerate the adoption of data resilience and cloud solutions in an increasingly complex market.”
Kinda Baydoun, senior director for channel & alliance at Veeam, said, “Arrow continues to demonstrate strong commitment to channel partner enablement, ecosystem development and customer success across EMEA. This award recognises the impact of that collaboration and the critical role Arrow plays in helping organisations strengthen resilience, reduce risk and build confidence in the data that underpins their business. As organisations accelerate cloud and AI adoption, the ability to protect, govern and recover data at scale has become foundational. Our channel partners are central to helping customers establish trusted data environments, helping ensure they can operate with confidence, meet regulatory requirements and turn data into a strategic advantage. We are proud to recognise Arrow as our 2026 EMEA Aggregator of the Year.”
Veeam's annual awards programme recognises organisations that have demonstrated exceptional performance, innovation and customer impact across the region. This year's awards highlighted the role of the channel in helping organisations strengthen resilience, improve recovery readiness and establish trusted foundations for future technology initiatives.
