We are a leading integrated manufacturing specialist for performance-critical applications and power products.
Our products and services are as diverse as the customers we serve. Each helps to enable the increasingly sophisticated digital world in which we live. Providing power and connectivity for both everyday items and complex machinery, from radiation oncology treatments, industrial lasers, right through to electric vehicles for the 21st century, Volex is integral to a vast universe of modern manufacturers.
Every moment matters
Our products ensure that a critical connection never fails. Whether the equipment being employed is a hospital imaging scanner, a defibrillator, a ventilator, a high-speed cable or even something as simple to power as a laptop or a domestic iron they need to work first time and every subsequent time. Humanity is increasingly dependent on connectivity to power our needs whether at home, at work or while we are on the move. Volex is a science and assembly innovator committed to making this happen.
A Global Team
We are a global family operating across 28 operating sites providing solutions to customers who need to solve increasingly complex challenges and improve the quality of life around the planet. Our footprint runs from Batam to Bydgoszcz and from Spokane to Suzhou. We are spread evenly across the globe, always near to our customers – something that stands us apart from the competition.
We work as a global team of over 14,000 dedicated colleagues who every day harness our diverse backgrounds, skills and experience to make a difference. We work together to manage vast supply chain complexities to simplify our customers’ own businesses so they can be confident that critical components will arrive on time, every time.
As a global family we want to grow organically and by acquisition. We continuously seek out and onboard new operating companies who share our common values and help make us a stronger global partner for our customers.

Volex differentiates itself from the competition in three key aspects
Global footprint
We have an unrivalled global manufacturing footprint. None of our direct competitors are able to offer manufacturing facilities located over thirteen separate countries across three continents.
Our global customers have access to one global supplier, but one with detailed knowledge of their key local markets and an ability to reduce local lead times.
Quality
Our brand is respected and known for quality and reliability. Quality and reliability are of importance to our premium customer base.
Volex has an enviable reputation in the market for safety and a detailed understanding of local regulatory requirements.
Scale
In a fragmented power cord market, Volex is one of the largest producers, which allows us to benefit from economies of scale and significant purchasing power in the Chinese wire market.
