The U.S.-based technology firm, known for providing electronic components and enterprise computing solutions, said the new ESC is aimed at helping manufacturers and innovators adopt advanced technologies more efficiently—particularly in sectors like industrial automation, automotive and transportation, energy management, and aerospace and defense.
India and Southeast Asian nations have been gaining prominence as technology manufacturing hubs, driven by efforts to diversify global supply chains and by favourable government policies. Arrow’s new centre is designed to tap into that momentum by offering specialised engineering support to accelerate the development of intelligent and connected products.
“Innovators across the region often face challenges in adopting cutting-edge electronic components and software technologies due to limited in-house engineering capabilities for rapid product development,” said Dr. Raphael Salmi, President of Arrow Electronics’ Components Business for South Asia, Korea, and Japan.
“By leveraging our global network of resources, deep engineering expertise, and strong local presence, Arrow acts as a trusted technology partner—bridging the gap between innovation and execution,” added Salmi.
Located in Bangalore, Arrow Electronics’ new ESC is staffed by a team of experienced application engineers who bring expertise in areas such as embedded software, wireless connectivity, power and analogue systems, and IP&E (Interconnect, Passive & Electromechanical) components. The centre provides comprehensive support across the product development lifecycle, from early-stage design to final deployment.
Key services offered include:
- Component Engineering: Guidance on selecting technologies like microcontrollers, system-on-chips, and power components.
- System Engineering: Support for system-level design reviews and optimisation of technical resources such as block diagrams and bills of materials.
- Reference Design Solutions: Access to system-level reference designs to help reduce time-to-market and improve design confidence.
In addition to engineering expertise, the centre offers in-market support such as technical training, prebuilt software libraries, component samples, and supply chain services. These resources are intended to help local companies speed up innovation and bring next-generation products to market more efficiently.
The new ESC is part of Arrow’s broader strategy to deepen its presence in Asia and to serve as a key partner for the region’s growing ecosystem of hardware and software developers.
