Te Connectivity Plc
A maker of the tiny connectors, sensors, and wiring systems that quietly hold modern life together, used in cars, planes, factories, and medical devices. Its roots go back to 1941, when engineer Uncas Whitaker founded Aircraft-Marine Products in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to build a faster, more reliable solderless crimp terminal for wartime aircraft and ships. Renamed TE Connectivity in 2011 after its years as Tyco Electronics, the company has a name that simply stands for its trade: connecting everything.
