\”One of our key strategies is to expand the markets we serve, and we believe the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia presents a significant opportunity for Anixter and its business partners given the Kingdom’s investments in infrastructure, strong economy, and strategic economic and geographic position in the Middle East markets that Anixter serves,\” said Bob Eck, president and CEO of Anixter.
