PEI-Genesis Celebrates 80 Years of Connector Solutions

PEI-Genesis, a global leader in the design and assembly of custom-engineered interconnect solutions, is proud to commemorate 80 years of successful business operations. This milestone signifies eight decades of innovation, specialization, and the establishment of trusted partnerships with customers around the world.

Established in 1946 by Bernie Bernbaum and Murray Fisher, PEI-Genesis originated as a modest electronics distribution enterprise in Philadelphia. Initially providing vacuum tubes and test equipment to engineers in the post-World War II era, the company embarked on a journey of growth through strategic acquisitions, product diversification, and a steadfast commitment to embracing emerging technologies.

Throughout its history, PEI-Genesis has expanded its presence across North America, Europe, and Asia, cultivating a global footprint supported by unparalleled connector expertise, swift cycle times, and a reputation as a Trusted Advisor to engineers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

In recent times, PEI-Genesis has continued to adapt to meet the evolving and increasingly intricate demands of its clientele. In 2022, the company made a significant move by acquiring Testco, Inc., a reputable supplier to the industrial and power electronics sectors. This acquisition bolstered PEI-Genesis’ capabilities in engineered interconnect solutions for challenging applications. Subsequently, in 2023, the company ventured into the RF connector market, expanding its product portfolio to encompass high-frequency solutions catering to applications necessitating precision signal integrity, speed, and dependability.

More recently, PEI-Genesis announced the acquisition of Bel Stewart s.r.o., further fortifying its global presence, technical proficiency, and capacity to cater to customers with enhanced connector and value-added manufacturing capabilities across international markets. These strategic endeavors underscore PEI-Genesis’ dedication to innovation, specialization, and its role as a trusted advisor as customer needs continue to progress.

“Celebrating 80 years is a testament to the vision of our founders, the commitment of our workforce, and the confidence our customers have in us,” remarked Steven Fisher, Chairman and CEO of PEI-Genesis. “Our ICARE values remain the cornerstone of how we operate, serve, and engage with our customers and colleagues. Despite technological advancements, our focus on expertise, service, and collaboration remains unwavering.”

Presently, PEI-Genesis collaborates with numerous premier connector manufacturers globally and upholds one of the industry’s most extensive inventories of connector components. The company custom assembles solutions in its facilities worldwide to cater to customers spanning the military, industrial, aerospace, medical, transportation, energy sectors, and beyond. Looking ahead, PEI-Genesis remains steadfast in its commitment to innovation, specialization, and delivering engineered solutions to address the connectivity challenges of the future.
