Jabil announced that Rebound Electronics is now part of the Jabil family of companies. The acquisition expands Jabil’s ability to help customers build more resilient, agile, and secure supply chains.

Rebound Electronics brings established distribution capabilities to Jabil’s global manufacturing and supply chain platform. By combining these capabilities, Jabil said customers will benefit from enhanced sourcing solutions, expanded market access, and greater supply chain stability.

The deal comes at a time when electronics supply chains remain highly complex and customers are looking for partners that can help reduce risk, respond quickly to disruptions, and secure access to critical components. Jabil said the acquisition supports a new approach to distribution that combines the global scale of a manufacturer with the responsiveness of a distributor.

Jabil described the combined model as a Strategic Distribution Partner offering for electronics sourcing needs. The approach is designed to help customers access high-quality components, improve sourcing reliability, and remain competitive as market conditions shift.

Rebound Electronics has built its business around solving complex sourcing challenges, moving quickly, and delivering customer-focused service. As part of Jabil, Rebound is expected to gain access to broader capabilities, deeper market intelligence, and a global network while maintaining its entrepreneurial and customer-first culture.

The acquisition also strengthens Jabil’s position across the electronics ecosystem. Rebound’s expertise in global component sourcing will be combined with Jabil’s manufacturing footprint, supply chain capabilities, and market reach.

For customers, the combined platform is intended to provide more than a transactional supplier relationship. Jabil and Rebound said they are positioned to help customers navigate complexity, respond to market changes, and support long-term growth through stronger supply chain performance and flexibility.

Rebound Electronics will continue delivering the quality, responsiveness, and service that have defined the company for more than two decades. The company said the backing of Jabil will allow it to deliver more value, increased flexibility, and more innovative solutions to customers globally.

Together, Jabil and Rebound are aiming to create a differentiated approach to strategic distribution. The combined business will focus on helping customers secure critical components, strengthen supply chain resilience, and unlock new growth opportunities.
