About Vishay Intertechnology
Vishay Intertechnology is a US publicly listed company (NYSE) headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and is among the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductor devices and passive electronic components. The portfolio includes diodes, rectifiers, MOSFETs, optoelectronic components, selected ICs as well as resistors, capacitors, inductors, sensors, transducers and power modules. In addition, the company offers Custom Products such as dies and wafers, modules as well as custom capacitors, resistors and magnetics. Founded in 1962 by Felix Zandman with foil resistors and foil strain gauges, Vishay has grown since 1985, through a series of acquisitions, into a broadline manufacturer of electronic components. In 2024 the company generated revenue of around USD 2.9 billion with approximately 22,700 full-time employees. Production facilities are located in 17 countries; in Germany there are sites in Selb (European headquarters, formerly Draloric), Heide (formerly Beyschlag), Heilbronn (formerly Temic/Telefunken), Landshut (formerly Roederstein) and Itzehoe (formerly Siliconix) with a total of around 1,900 employees.
