Ingram Micro Holding Corporation secured a major corporate achievement. The business once again earned the official title of HPE 2026 Global Distributor of the Year. This special announcement marks the third time the company has achieved this top international honor.
Event organizers presented the award to company leaders during the recent HPE Partner Growth Summit 2026. This industry summit took place in Las Vegas, Nevada. The award recognizes outstanding performance in delivering high-growth programs. It also highlights the distribution group’s successful B2B Platform operations.
“Our customer-first mindset is what drives Ingram Micro’s performance and makes the partnerships we establish and grow so valuable. HPE has been a tremendous partner for many years, and we are looking forward to what we can do together this year,” said Paul Bay, CEO of Ingram Micro.
Multiple regional teams also gained separate accolades during the ceremony. The local branch in Australia secured a regional distributor award. The branch in Brazil took home two separate awards. These were the regional distributor award and the value distributor award.
Furthermore, the Chile branch won an annual distributor title. The team in Turkey won both the standard distributor award and the specialized networking distributor award. Finally, the combined UKIMEA regional team earned a distributor of the year accolade.
Strategic IT Investments Drive International Channel Growth
“The HPE Partner of the Year 2026 Awards spotlight partners who don’t just keep pace with innovation, they invest in truly understanding the full HPE portfolio and building the expertise to apply it to real customer challenges. That depth of capability is what turns great technology into measurable outcomes for our customers. HPE is proud to celebrate our partners’ achievements and to help them deliver world-class innovation and services for all our customers,” said Simon Ewington, senior vice president of Worldwide Channel and Partner Ecosystem at HPE.
These repeated wins follow another major corporate selection. The technology firm now operates as one of just two global distributors. This gives the company complete access to the full product catalog. The catalog includes advanced hybrid cloud, networking, and AI solutions.
Additionally, the expanded collaboration introduces the new Partner Growth Accelerator Program. This initiative provides enhanced services and a broader geographic reach. Channel partners can leverage these tools to increase profits.
“We are honored to be recognized by HPE as their Global Distributor of the Year and earning additional accolades for our local teams. Earning this award three times is a testament to the commitment we make with our HPE relationship and the value we place on generating growth together. Our longstanding and growing collaboration with HPE is built on trust, execution, and a strong, shared commitment to helping our mutual channel partners realize their growth potential by delivering innovative solutions and services and enabling true business outcomes for end customers,” said Eric Kohl, Vice President, Global Vendor Engagement, Security & Networking, Ingram Micro.
