HISTORY
Established on January 1, 1986, Powerex is the result of a combination of two pioneers in the power semiconductor industry — the Power Semiconductor Divisions of General Electric Company and Westinghouse Electric Corporation. With the idea of advancement toward the future,
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation established an equity position in Powerex.
In 1994, Westinghouse sold its shares to General Electric and Mitsubishi Electric, which currently share equal ownership of Powerex.
