 PROFILE
Kent Electronics hopes the whole truly is greater than the parts. The company operates in two business units: Kent Components and Kent Datacomm. Kent Components provides manufacturers with the wire and cable, interconnect assemblies, and electromechanical products used to make industrial and consumer products. Kent Datacomm offers integrated network products, providing consulting and design services as well as hardware such as switches, hub, routers, and modems. To focus on the networking market, the company sold its contract manufacturing division (K*TEC) and certain assets of its specialty wire and cable distribution business. The company has announced an agreement to be acquired by larger rival Avnet.
