 PROFILE
To say that Vishay Intertechnology is into technology would be an understatement. The company is a top maker of passive electronic components (two-thirds of sales) such as capacitors and resistors; it also makes other discrete components such as diodes and transistors, as well as power integrated circuits and optoelectronics. Vishay's products are important components in electronic systems for everything from cars to satellites -- the company touts its discrete component portfolio as being the widest in the industry. Its customers include Cisco, IBM, Nokia, and Sony. Vishay continues to pursue acquisitions to foster further growth. Founder and CEO Felix Zandman controls 41% of the company's voting power.
