Business Description
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. manufactures one of the world's largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components that support innovative designs in the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets. Serving customers worldwide, Vishay brands itself as The DNA of tech.'
Semiconductors include MOSFETs, diodes, and optoelectronic components. Passive components include resistors, inductors, and capacitors. Our semiconductor components are used for a wide variety of functions, including power control, power conversion, power management, signal switching, signal routing, signal blocking, signal amplification, two-way data transfer, one-way remote control, and circuit isolation. Our passive components are used to restrict current flow, suppress voltage increases, store and discharge energy, control alternating current ('AC') and voltage, filter out unwanted electrical signals, and perform other functions.
For almost six decades we have been building what we call The DNA of tech.TM
The Vishay journey began with one man, the late Dr. Felix Zandman, and a revolutionary technology. In the 1950's, Dr. Felix Zandman was issued patents for his PhotoStress' coatings and instruments, used to reveal and measure the distribution of stresses in structures such as airplanes and cars under live load conditions. His research in this area led him to develop Bulk Metal' foil resistors ' ultra-precise, ultra-stable resistors with performance exceeding any other resistor available to date.
In 1962, Dr. Zandman, with a loan from the late Alfred P. Slaner, founded Vishay to develop and manufacture Bulk Metal foil resistors. Concurrently, J.E. Starr developed foil resistance strain gages, which also became part of Vishay. Throughout the 1960's and 1970's, Vishay established itself as a technical and market leader in foil resistors, PhotoStress products, and strain gages.
From that beginning, we grew and strengthened our business both organically and through strategic passive component acquisitions beginning in 1985 and semiconductor acquisitions beginning in the late 1990's. From discrete semiconductors to passive components; from the smallest diode to the most powerful capacitor, Vishay manufactures a breadth of products which we call The DNA of tech.'
Through R&D, manufacturing, engineering, quality, sales and marketing, we generate a variety of components that support inventors and innovators creating new generations of products spanning many sectors: automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical.
