Arrow Electronics launches Capstone to focus on IP&E components and solutions
Arrow Electronics has launched Capstone, a new global business dedicated to interconnect, passives and electromechanical (IP&E) components, solutions and services.
The new business aims to provide customers with specialist IP&E expertise, faster decision-making and support throughout the design and production process. It will cover both on-board and off-board electrical systems, helping customers select components, manage supply chains and scale production.
Capstone forms part of a wider restructuring of Arrow’s global components business, which is moving from a geographically based operating model to one organised around three technology-focused areas: semiconductors, IP&E, and supply chain and engineering services.
According to Arrow, the new structure will allow each business to develop more specialised expertise while continuing to provide customers with access to the company’s wider technical and supply chain capabilities.
“IP&E is a foundational part of every electronic design, and specialisation helps customers and suppliers capture greater value,” said Jörg Strughold, chief growth officer, global IP&E and Capstone at Arrow Electronics.
Capstone will support applications across several growth markets, including data centres, aerospace and defence, medical, industrial, transport, consumer electronics and agriculture. Target applications include AI data centres, 800V power architectures, edge processing, New Space, building security and autonomous agriculture.
Although operating under a dedicated brand, Capstone will remain integrated with Arrow’s wider business, giving customers access to semiconductor products, engineering services and supply chain support.
A dedicated Capstone website and product sourcing platform is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2027. Until then, customers can access Arrow’s IP&E portfolio through the existing Arrow website.
Arrow will introduce Capstone at electronica 2026 in Munich, Germany, from 10–13 November, at booth C4.420.
