Arrow Electronics, a global technology provider, has been named Veeam “Aggregator of the Year” for EMEA at the 2026 Veeam EMEA Partner Awards.
The award was presented during Veeam's annual Partner Advisory Council, held in Portugal, which brought together strategic channel leaders from Europe, the Middle East and Africa to analyze market trends, future strategies and customer needs. Arrow was recognized for its contribution to expanding Veeam's business in the region through channel development, partner support and execution of go-to-market strategies.
The recognition follows Arrow's recent extension of Veeam's distribution agreement into EMEA, which added Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland to the companies' existing relationship. The extension expanded access to Veeam's portfolio of data resiliency solutions and on-premise support in additional markets, helping customers enhance backup, recovery, cyber resilience and data protection strategies in the hybrid cloud.
"This award represents much more than the strength of our collaboration with Veeam. It recognizes the evolution of our role in the channel ecosystem" - said Nick Bannister, President of Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions in EMEA. "As an aggregator, Arrow develops and expands cloud ecosystems across EMEA, enabling channel partners and helping to drive consistent and continuous growth. By combining platform capabilities, partner support and regional reach, we help channel partners accelerate the adoption of data resilience and cloud solutions in an increasingly complex market."
“Arrow continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to channel partner enablement, ecosystem development and customer success across EMEA,” said Kinda Baydoun, Senior Director, Veeam Partner Network in EMEA. "The award recognizes the impact of that collaboration and the critical role Arrow plays in helping organizations strengthen resilience, reduce risk and build trust in the data that powers their business. As organizations accelerate their adoption of cloud and AI, the ability to protect, govern and recover data at scale has become critical. Our channel partners are central to helping customers create trusted data environments, helping to ensure they can operate with confidence, meet regulatory requirements and turn data into a strategic advantage. We are proud to recognize Arrow as our 2026 EMEA Aggregator of the Year.”
Veeam's annual awards program recognizes organizations that have demonstrated exceptional performance, innovation and customer impact across the region.
