About Molex

Molex LLC is an American manufacturer of electronics and related components, offering over 100,000 products that serve medical, automotive, industrial, data communication, and consumer electronic markets. Headquartered in Lisle, Illinois, Molex serves as a subsidiary to their parent company, Koch Industries.

Molex was first established in 1938 as a manufacturer of flowerpots. To create their products, the company used an industrial byproduct plastic known as Molex. In the following years, the company diversified their operations as they began supplying General Electric with connectors produced from the same byproduct plastic. As these connectors proved very useful for appliances manufactured by various companies, Molex quickly shifted their focus towards the electronics industry.

Leading into Molex’s acquisition by Koch Industries in 2013, the company focused on acquiring companies with the purchase of Woodhead Industries in 2006 as well as continued to diversify their offerings. With their acquisition by Koch Industries, Molex was allowed to retain their company name and headquarters, though acts as an indirect subsidiary under their parent company. In the present, Molex has continued acquisitions to increase their operational capabilities alongside their global expansion.
