VPG

Vishay Precision Group, Inc.

A maker of precision sensors and measurement equipment, VPG builds the ultra-accurate foil resistors and strain gages used in avionics, medical gear, and industrial automation, along with load cells, vehicle-weighing systems, and crash-test data capture tools. Born in 2010 as a spin-off of Vishay Intertechnology, it traces its roots to physicist and Holocaust survivor Dr. Felix Zandman, who named the company after his ancestral village in Lithuania, where family members perished during the Holocaust.
