Talk:Vishay Intertechnology

Corporate evolution
It would be nice to see a list of the companies that Vishay has absorbed, e.g Sprague, IR (some lines), Dale, General Semiconductor, etc. jhawkinson (talk) 04:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Have included a list of companies Vishay aquired --Lindseyrose (talk) 08:38, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Can we make it a paragraph or something instead? I see no use in simply listing these out--what if we tried to do that for every major conglomerate in the world?  — fetch ·  comms   13:16, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The products should not ve listed in either case--a section or paragraph on that ought to suffice. Must be referenced, of course.  — fetch ·  comms   13:18, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

The last paragraph of the History section is out of place. It talks about the architecture of a building that was demolished before Vishay bought the company that once owned the building. It's quite a stretch including it in the article about Vishay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.175.226.96 (talk) 19:27, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Why the name Vishay
It would be very interesting to know the reason behind the company name "Vishay". The company is American, the founder is a Polish Jew and the name sounds Indian. There doesn't seem to be a connection. ——60.43.39.240 (talk) 03:49, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
 * That has since been explained. Though the name looked Indian to my eyes too, that's apparently a coincidence. It's named for the formerly Polish village the founder's family came from, which now resides in Lithuania due to the dramatic shift in Poland's borders after World War II. (The village name's spelling has changed, perhaps as a result of its transfer to Lithuanian territory, but you can still see a resemblance.) --Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 07:24, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
