Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., is one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components. Vishay has manufacturing plants in Israel, China and five other Asian countries, Europe, and the Americas where it produces rectifiers, diodes, MOSFETs, optoelectronics, selected integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Vishay Intertechnology revenues for 2009 were $2.042 billion. As of December 31, 2009, Vishay Intertechnology had approximately 22,300 full-time employees[1].

History

Vishay Intertechnology was founded in 1962 by Dr. Felix Zandman. It began operations with a patented technology that had two product lines: foil resistors and foil resistance strain gages. In 1985, having grown from a start-up into the world's leading manufacturer of these original products, the company began an ongoing series of acquisitions to become a broadline manufacturer of electronics components[2].

Having expanded into so many product lines, Vishay announced in October 2009 that it would be creating a spin off company which focuses on their high precision technologies in Foil Technology. Vishay Precision Group was launched on June 1, 2010 and will soon be listed as its own publically traded company. It represents approximately 9% of Vishay annual revenue, and included their product lines in Bulk Metal® Foil Resistors, micro-measurements, load cells, process weighing, and on-board weighing [3] [4].
