Vishay Intertechnology was founded in 1962 by Dr. Felix Zandman. It began operations with one technology that had two product lines: foil resistors and foil resistance strain gages. Soon the company grew into the world`s leading manufacturer of these products.

Due to innovations, development of new products and technologies as well as a series of strategic acquisitions, Vishay became one of the world`s largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components.
Vishay`s large assortment of products is characterized by a range of brands like Beyschlag, BCcomponents or Sfernice/Spectrol. Vishay is the leading global manufacturer of wire resistors, wired metallic resistors ( film resistors) or thin-film chip resistors.

February 23, 2012 is the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Vishay Intertechnology by Dr. Felix Zandman. A Company that started as one man’s vision has grown over the years to become a leader in the global electronics industry.
