Company Overview

Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (VPG) is a publicly traded global manufacturer of precision sensors, foil resistors, and sensor-based measurement systems, headquartered at 851 Duportail Rd, 2nd Floor, Chesterbrook, PA 19087, USA (formerly listed at 3 Great Valley Parkway, Malvern, PA). The company was spun off from Vishay Intertechnology in July 2010 and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker VPG.

VPG's heritage traces to the pioneering work of Dr. Felix Zandman, who founded Vishay Intertechnology in Malvern, PA in 1962 and developed the first Bulk Metal® foil resistors and PhotoStress® photoelastic coating technology for structural stress analysis. VPG carries forward this six-decade legacy of precision measurement innovation.

The company designs, manufactures, and markets three main product categories: (1) Foil Technology Products — precision foil resistors and foil strain gages, built on VPG's proprietary resistive foil technology and known for extremely stable performance across temperature ranges; (2) Force Sensors — load cells, transducers, weighing modules, and torque sensors that convert mechanical inputs (force, weight, pressure, torque, tilt, motion, acceleration) into precise electronic signals; and (3) Weighing and Control Systems — complete data acquisition systems, on-board weighing solutions, and process control instruments.

VPG markets its products under multiple specialty brands including Micro-Measurements (strain gages), VPG Force Sensors, Vishay Foil Resistors, and Weighing and Control Systems. The company serves markets in test and measurement, avionics, military and space, automotive, transportation, steel, industrial automation, medical, and agriculture. Notably, VPG's precision sensors are integral to robotic force-torque sensing, collaborative robot safety systems, and smart manufacturing instrumentation.

Quality management systems across most VPG facilities are certified to ISO 9001, AS 9100 (aerospace), IATF 16949 (automotive), ISO/IEC 17025 (calibration laboratories), and MIL-STD-790 (military reliability). VPG operates globally with facilities and sales offices in the USA, Canada, Germany, UK, France, China, Taiwan, Japan, India, Israel, and Sweden. The company employs between 1,000 and 5,000 people worldwide.
