Tyco International Ltd. completed the $12.22 billion purchase of AMP Inc. APRIL 6, 1999, adding the world's biggest maker of electronic connectors to its array of industrial businesses. The AMP brand became part of Tyco Electronics. Tyco Electronics later rebranded itself as TE Connectivity. TE Connectivity is a major global company known for providing a wide range of connectivity and sensor solutions. AMP specialized in the manufacturing of electrical connectors, electronic components, and related products. It was a pioneer in the development of reliable electrical connectors for a variety of applications.
Tyco International Ltd., a diversified manufacturing and service company,
is the world's largest manufacturer, installer, and provider of fire
protection systems and electronic security services, the largest manufacturer
and servicer of electrical and electronic components and underwater
telecommunications systems, the largest manufacturer of flow control valves,
and has strong leadership positions in disposable medical products and
plastics and adhesives. The Company operates in more than 80 countries around
the world and has expected fiscal 1999 revenues in excess of $22 billion.
In July 2007, Tyco separated into three publicly independent companies, Covidien Ltd (formerly Tyco Healthcare), Tyco Electronics Ltd, and Tyco International Ltd.
On March 10, 2011, Tyco Electronics Ltd changed its name to TE Connectivity, which the company said felt more relevant to its position as a connectivity and sensor component manufacturer.
TE Connectivity Ltd, formerly Tyco Electronics Ltd, designs and manufactures connectivity and sensor solutions for a variety of industries including automotive, industrial equipment, data communication systems, aerospace, defense, oil and gas, consumer electronics, energy and subsea communications. The company serves customers in more than 150 countries.
AMP / TYCO Connectors
Tyco International Ltd. completed the $12.22 billion purchase of AMP Inc. on April 6, 1999, adding the world’s biggest maker of electronic connectors to its array of industrial businesses. Tyco is much more than a connector supplier. Tyco acquisitions ranged across the value chain from components, including sensors, through sector-specific modules and PCBs to instrumentation. TE / TYco has more than 500,000 products that it sells into automotive, industrial equipment, data communication systems, aerospace, defense, oil and gas, consumer electronics, energy and subsea communications.
Tyco was founded in 1960 when Arthur J. Rosenburg, Ph.D., opened a research laboratory to do experimental work for the government.
Tyco Electronics is the world’s largest supplier of passive electronic components and a major producer of active components.
The AMP brand encompasses the broadest range of connectors in the world, including high-density, high-speed designs for leading-edge communications equipment, and innovative micro miniature circular plastic connectors that are more cost effective than traditional metal-shell designs.
