\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> have entered a multi-year partnership with Avnet<\/a> that will include the company\u2019s \u201cA\u201d and name on the sleeve of the D-backs\u2019 jerseys beginning with the 2023 season as well as a strong community partnership element.<\/p>\n

The D-backs are the third Major League Baseball (MLB) team to secure a jersey patch partner since the jersey patch program was announced by MLB April 1, 2022.<\/p>\n

This collaboration brings together two Arizona-based organizations that share a commitment to creating a best-in-class experience for customers, partners, fans, and their employees as well as an equal dedication to the communities they serve. A significant part of the relationship will bring together two organizations committed to making investments in Arizona\u2019s youth through STEM education programs throughout the state.<\/p>\n

Avnet, a leading global technology distributor and solutions provider headquartered in Arizona, will serve as an exclusive partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Avnet prides itself on being an Arizona-based company that serves +1 million customers in over 140 countries through its more than 15,000 employees across the globe\u20141,300 of which call the Grand Canyon State home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was natural for us to partner with the Arizona Diamondbacks, a home-grown team that is as dedicated to Arizona and its communities as we are.\u201d said Avnet CEO Phil Gallagher. \u201cAs a global company, we\u2019re dedicated to serving the communities in which our employees live, work and play, and we are excited to support the team\u2019s work on and off the field while collaborating to make a difference in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with locally-based Avnet primarily because of our aligned values that include a real commitment to our employees and our fans (customers) as well as a dedication to making a difference in the great state of Arizona through our community support and investments,\u201d said D-backs President & CEO Derrick Hall. \u201cFor more than a century, Avnet has been a home to good people who show up to make a difference in people\u2019s lives through their products and services and community commitment. I look forward to making a larger impact in this state now that we are partnering with one of Arizona\u2019s hidden treasures, Avnet. I want to applaud Cullen Maxey and Steve Mullins for their dedication and efforts to finding us a perfect partner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
