Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.: A Global Electronics Leader

Dr. Felix Zandman is the person behind the founding of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. The company has just celebrated its 50th anniversary last February 23, 2012. As a leader in the global electronics industry, the business manufactures semiconductors and passive electronic components.

In its more than 50 years of existence, the business has grown to become a giant in the industry with annualized revenue of more than $2.5 billion.

The company’s manufacturing plants are located in Asia, Europe, Israel and in the Americas.
