“When suppliers exit a key market, like embedded motherboards, it can
cause significant disruptions in customers’ manufacturing and
development supply chains,” said John Salemme, vice president and
general manager of Avnet Embedded. “This agreement with MiTAC Computing
Technology allows Avnet to smooth the transition for motherboard
customers by offering boards that are designed and manufactured as
drop-in replacements for many of the devices being transitioned out of
production. In addition, MiTAC Computing Technology’s comprehensive
range of cloud services, cloud computing products and client computing
devices are a great fit for our customers seeking to engage more broadly
in the IoT space.”
MiTAC Computing Technology’s product line includes next-generation
embedded motherboards, including all-in-one and thin-client computing
devices, as well as standard, mobile and radiant point-of-sale solutions.
“Within an ever-changing embedded and cloud technology market, MiTAC
Computing Technology users will reap the benefits of this agreement,”
said Michael Lin, president of MiTAC Computing Technology. “This
relationship enhances and leverages long histories and strengths of both
companies: Avnet in design chain, supply chain and value-added global
distribution and MiTAC Computing Technology in design engineering
development, global manufacturing and assembly services.”
