Molex manufacturing facility and team

About Molex

Founded in 1998, Molex started with a simple belief: choosing the right connector should not be complicated. Today, with over 3,200 team members across 95+ countries, we remain committed to making connectivity decisions easier for our customers.

"We built Molex because we saw engineers struggling to navigate thousands of connector options without clear, honest guidance. Every person at Molex is here to make that process easier."

What began as a small workshop producing custom fiber optic patch cords has grown into a global connector manufacturer serving telecommunications, data centers, industrial automation, and automotive sectors. Our growth has been organic — driven by word-of-mouth from satisfied engineers who value our responsive technical support and consistent product quality.

We invest over 8% of annual revenue into R&D, resulting in 350+ patents covering everything from ultra-low-loss fiber polishing processes to next-generation high-density interconnect designs. But technology alone does not define us. Our team culture prioritizes listening to customers first, then engineering solutions second.

Our Values

Customer First

Every decision we make starts with asking how it helps our customers succeed. From product design to packaging, the customer's experience guides our choices.

Uncompromising Quality

ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified manufacturing processes ensure every connector meets or exceeds published specifications. We test 100% of production, not samples.

Honest Communication

If a competitor's product is a better fit for your application, we will tell you. Trust is earned by being straightforward, even when it costs us a sale.

Community Impact

Molex STEM education outreach

Molex sponsors STEM education programs in 12 countries, providing hands-on fiber optic and electronics workshops for students aged 14-18. Over 5,000 students have participated since 2015.

Our manufacturing facilities operate under ISO 14001 environmental management, with a commitment to reducing carbon emissions by 30% by 2030. We have already achieved a 22% reduction through solar installations and process optimization.
