history

The origins of the Vincotech company go back to 1968, when the Telecommunications Group of Siemens AG in Munich began manufacturing hybrid circuits. In 1992 Siemens bought a plant in Bicske , Hungary . In 1996, the Siemens EC business unit started producing power modules and hybrid circuits at the same location. In 2000, the Tyco International conglomerate took over the Siemens EC business unit. In the same year it was renamed Tyco Electronics, Electronic Modules. In 2007, The Gores Group acquired Tyco Electronics Power Systems, spun off the Electronic Modules business, and renamed it Vincotech. In 2010, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation acquired Vincotech. The company has been run as an independent affiliated company ever since.

The name Vincotech is a portmanteau ( suitcase word ), which combines the Latin word "vincere" (win, conquer, conquer) with the syllable "tech" from "technology".
