Arrow Electronics has added AirBorn, a Molex company, to its interconnect, passive, and electromechanical (IP&E) components portfolio in North America and EMEA. Adding AirBorn to Arrow’s product offering builds on the long-standing and deep cooperation of Arrow and Molex.
Acquired by Molex in late 2024, AirBorn has been providing defence, aerospace, commercial air, space exploration, medical, and industrial markets with high-reliability interconnect solutions for over 65 years. Its electronical solutions meet the high standards of these industry segments, including MIL-SPEC, AS9100, and ISO certifications.
AirBorn’s product range includes connectors, cable assemblies, military-grade flexible circuits, and high-level box builds. AirBorn has seven global manufacturing facilities including six in the United States and one in Canada. AirBorn’s portfolio will form the foundation of Molex’s new aerospace and defence division.
