PHOENIX—September 14, 2011 — Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas, a business region of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), announced today the instant availability to check order status and supply chain activity through its new application developed for Android phone users. Avnet Electronics Marketing’s Supply Chain Central (SCC) application is currently available for free download from the Android Market.

Avnet customers with supply chain engagements can now view their orders with just the touch of a fingertip.
