Cornell Dubilier Electronics, Inc. announced that it has acquired the Distributor Division of North American Capacitor Company’s Mallory Products Group from a subsidiary of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Jim Kaplan, Cornell Dubilier’s President, believes it is an excellent fit with Cornell Dubilier’s existing business.
Combined with the acquired Mallory product lines, Cornell Dubilier will now have one of the broadest capacitor offerings in North America. The acquired Mallory part numbers will be maintained by Cornell Dubilier, and the customers of those Mallory products will be serviced from a new location in Indianapolis, Indiana. Mallory is recognized as a leader in passive electronic components stemming from its beginning in 1917.
