Volex operates through five divisions: Complex Industrial Technology, Consumer Electricals, Electric Vehicles, Medical, and Off-Highway. The company serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and electronic manufacturing services (EMS) companies worldwide through its global sales network and authorized distributors. Headquartered in the United Kingdom with a workforce of over 13,000 employees across 25 countries, Volex maintains 25 manufacturing facilities worldwide.
Founded over 100 years ago, Volex has expanded its geographic and technical capabilities through multiple strategic acquisitions in recent years. A significant development includes the 2023 acquisition of Murat Ticaret Kablo Sanayi A.S., a Turkish company specializing in complex wire harnesses for agricultural, construction, commercial vehicles, and material handling machinery, which expanded Volex’s presence into the Off-Highway market as a fifth end-market sector. This acquisition, valued at $196 million, has accelerated Volex's five-year strategic plan and diversified its business portfolio. In 2022, Volex completed acquisitions of Prodamex SA de CV and Terminal & Cable TC Inc., enhancing its North American footprint and technical offerings in defense and domestic appliance markets. Volex continues to invest in expanding manufacturing capacity with recent facility enhancements in Mexico, Indonesia, India, and Türkiye to support growing demand, particularly in electric vehicles and data center power and connectivity solutions.
Volex’s recent strategic moves emphasize its commitment to organic growth and acquisition-driven expansion, aimed at leveraging its strong market positions in attractive sectors characterized by increasing demand for connectivity and power solutions. The company’s focus on high-quality, sustainable performance-critical products and global manufacturing excellence positions it well to capitalize on structural growth drivers across diversified markets while maintaining strong financial discipline and operational productivity. Volex’s ongoing integration of acquired businesses and continuous investments reinforce its leadership in complex manufacturing solutions tailored to evolving technological needs on a worldwide scale.
