   Anvet Inc. (Phoenix, AZ), a distributor of electronic components, announced that it has acquired Round2 Inc. (Austin, TX), a provider of services for the proper disposition of discarded electronics, or “e-waste.” Round2 provides commodity recycling, product disassembly, and electronics testing and repair services at facilities in Coppell, Texas; Grove City, Ohio; and Atlanta, Georgia. “The acquisition of Round2 Technologies is important to Avnet, as it complements our strategy to offer a total solution to the after-market services industry,” said Steve Church, president of Avnet Integrated Resources. “With Round2’s strong presence and capabilities in e-waste disposal, coupled with our other announced acquisitions, we can now offer call center services, repair and refurbishment—including complex repairs—and environmentally responsible disposal of those assets that no longer have usability.”
