Arrow Electronics today announced it has been named Equinix EMEA Distributor of the Year 2025. The award recognises Arrow for advancing innovative digital infrastructure and programmes that help enable customers to scale securely, interconnect globally, and future proof their digital transformation.
This is the second year in a row that Arrow has been named Distributor of the Year, and reflects the continued growth of the companies’ collaboration across the EMEA region.
Arrow has worked with Equinix since 2024 when the companies signed an EMEA distribution agreement. The agreement focuses on helping channel partners deliver Equinix services as part of integrated solutions for network optimisation, hybrid multi-cloud enablement, and enhanced application workload performance.
Equinix brings together data centre co-location, private connections to major public cloud providers, and rich interconnection services across its global International Business Exchange data centres. Through the agreement, Arrow channel partners can position, deliver, and invoice Equinix services on a monthly recurring basis, supported by ArrowSphere Cloud and Arrow’s regional technical and commercial teams.
Mike Worby, head of strategic alliances EMEA at Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business, said, “Since launching our collaboration with Equinix, the focus has been on helping channel partners build stronger digital infrastructure offerings around connectivity, cloud, and application performance. Receiving this award for the second consecutive year reflects the progress we’ve made together in helping channel partners with the commercial models, technical expertise, and reach needed to support evolving customer requirements across EMEA.”
“Arrow has demonstrated strong leadership and valuable contributions to the Equinix partner ecosystem,” said Stefan Diedericks, vice president of EMEA partner ecosystem at Equinix. “In 2025, our collaboration advanced through deep alignment across EMEA that delivered high-impact partner activation. As our collaboration continues to evolve, we look forward to building this momentum to drive greater impact together.”
