Vishay Siliconix Itzehoe GmbH

Das Unternehmen Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. wurde 1962 in den USA gegründet und ist mit ca. 23.000 Mitarbeitern weltweit tätig. Die Produktpalette reicht von passiven Komponenten (Widerstände, Kondensatoren) bis hin zu diskreten Halbleiterbauelementen (Dioden, Transistoren).Hier am Standort in Itzehoe stellen wir mit rund 550 Mitarbeitenden Leistungstransistoren (Power MOSFET) her. Diese werden zum Schalten und Wandeln elektrischer Leistung sowie fürs Power Management eingesetzt, u. a. in Computern, in der Kommunikations- und Automobilindustrie. Wir produzieren rund um die Uhr, 362 Tage im Jahr und das alles im Reinraum, da die Produkte während der Herstellung nicht mit Staubpartikeln in Berührung kommen dürfen. Nach ca. 3 - 12 Wochen und 150 - 250 Bearbeitungsschritten sind die Transistoren fertig und werden zur Weiterverarbeitung an andere Werke in Asien verschickt.
