Tyco Electronics' illustrious history is based on two great companies with breathtaking engineering prowess and cultural heritage. Founded in 1941, AMPIncorporated has developed a solderless method for connecting terminals and wires, which can significantly improve the consistency and processing efficiency of the connection. AMP has led the fast-growing connector industry for 50 years and has been a leading manufacturer of terminals, connectors and related products, whose components are used in everything from toasters to supercomputers. The company soon adopted a strategy of global growth, first establishing operations in France in 1952 and in Japan in 1956. By the end of the 90s of the 20th century, AMP's global operations had expanded to more than 50 countries, with annual sales revenue exceeding $5 billion.
Raychem Corporation was founded in 1957 on the nascent field of radiation chemistry (hence the name Raychem), which led to the successful development of products such as aerospace cables and heat shrink tubing, in collaboration with materials experts. Soon after, Raychem introduced more products through the application of these core technologies, including an innovative circuit protection product that automatically resets the circuit after it has been troubled.
In 1999, AMP merged with Tyco International Ltd., followed by (in the same year) the acquisition of Raychem. These two leaders in the electronics industry laid a solid foundation for the development of Tyco Electronics. Over the next two years, more strategic acquisitions further broadened the company's product portfolio, producing electrical and electronic components and systems across more than 20 different product categories. Today, the company's product portfolio extends far beyond connectors, including relays, fiber optics, wireless components, and touch screens, with a total of around 500,000 different part numbers. In terms of the variety of products and services, no other supplier can compete with Tyco Electronics.
Tyco Electronics is always focused on the needs of its customers and currently operates in more than 50 countries, with manufacturing facilities in approximately 25 countries, all conveniently located close to customer facilities. While the current trend is to shift manufacturing to emerging regions such as China and Eastern Europe, the company maintains a balanced strategy of operation, with its manufacturing facilities evenly distributed across the three major regions of the world.
