About Us

VCC is a leader in the electronic components market with a focus on human-machine interface (“HMI”) components and value-added solutions. Founded in 1976, the Company has nearly half a century of experience designing, engineering, and manufacturing electrical components and solutions for OEM customers across a variety of end markets.

VCC’s catalog products, custom-engineered solutions, and services are sold through the Company’s world-class global distribution network and directly to select OEM customers. Both channels provide an avenue for OEM customers to design the Company’s components and solutions into their final product. Further, once VCC’s content is part of the OEM’s drawings, the Company realizes a recurring revenue stream for the life of the customer’s product due to the high switching costs of redesign to accommodate a change.

As a full-service HMI components provider with integrated value-added engineering and electronics manufacturing capabilities, VCC is uniquely positioned to support the ongoing reconfiguration and nearshoring of supply chains by North American OEMs through its 45,000 square foot factory in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.

VCC has scale and momentum.
