DENVER | Arrow Electronics Inc. is moving its global headquarters to the Englewood from Melville, N.Y.

The electronics and computer components supplier said Tuesday the move would be effective Nov. 15.

It wasn’t immediately clear how many jobs Colorado would gain. Gov. John Hickenlooper says the state has approved tax credits for Arrow of up to $11.4 million over five years if 1,250 jobs are created.

Arrow already has about 1,000 employees in Colorado. The company’s enterprise computing solutions, Americas components and global services businesses are based in Englewood.

Arrow says some operations will remain in New York. It didn’t elaborate.

Hickenlooper says Colorado also will recruit some of Arrow’s 1,200 suppliers to move to Colorado.
