Vishay Intertechnology finds itself on a new peak; demand for 2 tiny cell-phone parts has skyrocketed
Article Abstract:
Vishay Intertechnology Inc. may have suffered through a tough year in 1998 when profits fell 85%, but now the demand for its parts that go into cellular telephones is greater than the company can supply, even though it employs 20,000 people worldwide. The company makes electronic components for a range of consumer products, but right now it's the tantalum capacitors and power MOSFETs that the company will try to supply in a 'measured way'.
