A word from our Executive Vice President of Asia Pacific Operation

Our goal is to transform Belden from a good company to a great one, and we have the strategic plan to take us where we want to go. As part of our new direction, we are moving from a product-focused organization to a customer focused organization — a shift that requires a competitive mind-set. For Naresh Kumra, executive vice president, Asia Pacific operations, “a winning attitude means confidence in Belden’s great products and associates and optimism for the future.” An example of Kumra and his team’s recent success is a major cable and infrastructure project win at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi.

Belden Is Sending All the Right Signals - from industrial automation to data centers, from broadcast studios to aerospace, from cutting-edge wireless communications to consumer electronics, Belden people are committed to delivering the best signal transmission solutions in the world. Our 7,500 associates worldwide work in copper cable, fiber, wireless technology, connectors, switches and active components to bring voice, video and data to your mission-critical application. With 2008 revenue of $2.0 billion, Belden has manufacturing capability in North America, Europe and Asia.

In late 2008, we began moving some production for our Asia customers into our newly built plant in Suzhou, China. We are excited about this transition since the facility not only replaces our existing Shanghai plant for LTK products but also represents new local capacity for the production of Belden-branded products.

 Belden has built the largest facility outside the Americas in Suzhou, China, with total land area of 100,000 square meters. With approximately $40 million U.S. dollars of investment to build this new plant, it is anticipated to generate over $220 million U.S. dollars of revenue per year when fully ramped up. The plant supports the production and sales of Belden’s copper cables, an essential element of Belden’s signal transmission solutions, under brand names such as LTK, Belden, Thermax etc.

Despite the recent global financial tsunami, Belden continues its global expansion in the China and Asia markets with the finest equipment and state-of-the-art facilities. John Stroup, President and CEO of Belden, expressed confidently, "I’m excited about Belden’s new business development in China. The Suzhou plant is a symbol of Belden’s strong belief in continuing growth of China's economy, and our unwavering commitment to expand our presence in China. I’m confident this new plant, bolstered by the technological experience the company gained in the Americas, Asia and Europe - will enable Belden to provide a wider range of products and customized solutions to its customers in China and the rest of Asia."
