Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
A multi-year strategic plan to transition from a decentralized commodity-focused structure to a streamlined, customer-centric model targeting high-growth megatrends like E-mobility, AI servers, and smart grid infrastructure.
Expected impact: Aims to accelerate organic revenue growth (targeting a 9-11% CAGR from the 2023 base) and expand long-term gross margins to 31-33% and operating margins to 19-21% by 2028.
A restructuring program involving the consolidation of manufacturing operations, including the closure of three legacy facilities (Shanghai, Fichtelberg, and Milwaukee) and transferring production to high-efficiency multi-product campuses.
Expected impact: Projected to deliver at least $23 million in annualized cost savings once fully implemented.
Expanding in-house compound semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, specifically focusing on Silicon Carbide (SiC) and advanced power inductors to support automotive and industrial electrification.
Expected impact: Enables the release of high-voltage SiC Trench MOSFETs (650V, 1200V, 1700V) to capture market share in EV traction inverters and smart grids.
Mergers, Acquisitions & Partnerships
Recent deals and strategic collaborations
Recent Acquisitions
To secure the supply of metallized technical films used in capacitor dielectrics, enabling vertical integration and supporting the growing demand for high-voltage capacitors in smart grid infrastructure.
Financial impact: Secures material supply chain resilience and supports high-performance capacitor product lines.
To expand Vishay's product portfolio in temperature sensing and inrush current limiters, particularly for electric vehicles and battery management systems.
Financial impact: Enhances sensor and high-energy application offerings.
Acquisition of the UK's largest semiconductor facility to secure compound semiconductor manufacturing capacity, specifically for Silicon Carbide (SiC), Gallium Nitride (GaN), and power MOSFETs.
Financial impact: Initially created a gross margin headwind of ~130 basis points in late 2025, but has transitioned to gross profit neutrality in early 2026.
Strategic Partnerships
Deep customer-first collaboration in the automotive sector. Vishay was honored with DENSO's 2025 North America Business Partner Award in the Value Leader category for proposing innovative components that enhance cleaner, safer mobility designs.
