Overview:

Bishop and Associates has just released a three volume, 950 page research report providing a one-source list of the world’s electronic connector companies. This report is published annually to incorporate new companies, and update information relating to companies listed in the previous issue.

The report provides company name, address, phone, fax and website URL for the connector companies listed in the report. In addition, a description of the company, including products and trademarks, plant locations, sales by geographic region and sales by market.

Chapter 1: Company Profiles

Chapter 1 of this report provides a two-page overview of 420 companies. The first page contains company location information such as address, phone, fax and website URL. Additionally, this page will contain sales by geographic region and end-use market when available. The second page will discuss the company’s products, trademarks, plant locations, channels to market and any other information we believe will assist you in better understanding the company’s business.

In some instances these profiles may not be complete. For example, we may have information about products, plant locations, etc, but not have sales data. We will include the sales information in subsequent updates.

Each annual update of the report will include the most current year sales data that is available. The year in which the sales were achieved is displayed in the table.

Chapter 2: Connector Company Listing

This chapter provides an alphabetical listing of the 854 connector companies we have identified, and includes major subsidiaries and companies associated by brand name. The company name, corporate affiliation, address, phone, fax and website URL is displayed.

Our goal is to continue to add companies to this listing as they are identified. Additionally, we will research the companies throughout the year, gathering information for an expanded profile to include in Chapter 1. Companies in Chapter 2 listed in bold type are those profiled in Chapter 1.

The 854 companies mentioned in this report represent 745 different connector manufacturers residing in 26 different countries. There are 228 companies with their base of origin in the United States, 186 in Taiwan, 85 in the People’s Republic of China, and 57 in Germany.
