PROFILE |
 |
AVX products are very extensively used in gadgets large and small. The company makes passive electronic components for an array of products such as cell phones, space rockets, photocopiers, automotive braking systems, hearing aids, and locomotives. AVX's capacitors, which store, filter, or regulate electrical energy in electronic devices, account for about half of sales. The company also distributes components made by Japanese semiconductor packager Kyocera. Customers include Ericsson, General Motors, IBM, Motorola, Robert Bosch, and Siemens. Although Kyocera remains AVX's most important strategic partner, it has reduced its ownership stake to about 70%.
