Ohmite Manufacturing Company has been the leading provider of resistive products for high current, high voltage, and high energy applications for over 95 years. The company's full complement of resistor construction includes wirewound, wire element, thick film, and ceramic composition. Through acquisition, Ohmite added the wirewound capabilities of Memcor-Truohm in 1996 and Ward Leonard Resistors in 1999. Victoreen Components, an experienced specialist in Thick Film technology for high voltage applications, was added to the Ohmite family in 1999. In 1998, Ohmite was acquired by Heico Companies LLC; a multinational, U.S. based holding company. The Skokie plant after many years of service was vacated and all operations were moved to Matamoros, Mexico while the Headquarters remained in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. 2006 saw Ohmite continue to grow and enhance its product offerings by acquiring Vishay's Angstrohm Rheostat and Ultronix Precision Resistor divisions.
