Arrow ECS Signs Exclusive Agreement with ARTEX Environmental for E-Waste Disposal Solutions for Resellers

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario--(Business Wire)--
Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a business segment of Arrow Electronics
Inc. [NYSE: ARW], announced an exclusive distribution agreement with ARTEX
Environmental Corporation enabling Canadian resellers to offer electronic waste
disposal solutions to their customers as a managed service.

"Disposing of retired and obsolete computing solutions is an aspect of
information technology that requires sophisticated solutions from credible
service providers. Selecting the right e-waste service provider requires equal
focus on advanced environmental solutions and uncompromising levels of security
to protect companies against data and identity theft. ARTEX addresses both of
these requirements and is one of the leading companies in this space," said
Robert Boulet, vice president of Arrow ECS Canada. "Arrow ECS is pleased to
assist resellers in this critical area of IT support. Serving as the service
provider for removing old technology gives resellers the opening to suggest new
solutions to replace that equipment."

Operating a secure and highly automated e-waste recycling facility, ARTEX
Environmental processes end-of-life computers and other retired electronic
equipment in a manner that meets or exceeds the highest regulatory standards and
provides best-practices environmental solutions. Just as important, ARTEX
provides industry-leading, secure data-destruction services, essentially
eliminating any chance of identity theft or loss of confidential information.
ARTEX guarantees that e-waste it receives will never be dumped in landfills nor
shipped to developing countries and will at all times be handled in the most
environmentally sound and cost-efficient manner.

"With ARTEX in partnership with Arrow ECS, resellers have the piece of mind of
knowing they are providing their customers with industry-leading solutions
through the same distributor that provides their hardware, software and storage
solutions and other IT services," said Paul Blanchard, president of ARTEX
Environmental. "We believe that the reseller becomes more relevant in the eyes
of its customer because the reseller can provide full lifecycle solutions and
can therefore generate additional revenue through the sale of annuity-based
asset-disposition services to their customers."
