Vishay Intertechnology Inc. announced that the company’s Vishay Electro-Films division has exceeded revenue levels reached before the February 2002 fire at its Warwick, R.I., facility.
“The progress from the business side has been swifter than anticipated, and this is only the start,” said Glyndwr Smith, Vishay’s executive vice president for marketing intelligence. “By the end of the year, we expect to have all new equipment in place and be in a position to rapidly increase capacity.”

Last month, all employees moved from trailers back into the Warwick facility. The facility meets the strict fire codes in Rhode Island, and is considered a model by the local fire department. Over the next few months, a new plating line and sputtering equipment will be installed. Vishay Electro-Films plans to host a grand opening and tour of the facility on October 17.
Vishay Electro-Films is a technology leader in manufacturing thin-film components and networks on ceramic and silicon, including resistors, capacitors, inductors and microwave components. The Warwick facility will be the most advanced thin-film plant in the world, doubling production capacity and providing greater flexibility and accuracy for specialized designs.
