MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG), a leading producer of
precision sensors and systems, recently released several product
offerings that support the company’s focus on providing innovative
solutions to its global customer base.
Ziv Shoshani, VPG’s Chief Executive Officer and President said, “It is a
continuous focus of the entire VPG team to advance the definition of
innovation. It is our goal to develop products that are responsive to
industry needs and help our customers better serve their markets and
customers.”
Recent product launches and offerings have been announced in each of the
company’s reporting segments.
Foil Technology Products
The FRFC Series, a new family of ultra-high-precision flip chip
resistors based on the market-leading Z1 Foil Technology, was recently
introduced. FRFC Series devices provide designers with perhaps the most
stable resistors available today – allowing them to achieve new
benchmark levels in performance. In addition to saving on board space,
the devices’ flip-chip terminations increase reliability by providing
better strain relief to help eliminate cracked substrates and board
delamination.
The FRFC Series flip chip resistors are optimized for a wide range of
high-precision industrial, telecommunications, medical, and laboratory
applications; including bridge networks, gyro navigation controls,
pressure sensors, standards and decade boxes, process controls, weighing
systems, electron beams, and automatic test equipment. Further
information about the FRFC Series can be found by clicking
here.
We also recently announced that we have expanded our Super Stock
program, with a wide range of strain gage patterns, guaranteed to be in
stock for our worldwide network of customers, with off-the-shelf
delivery. The Super Stock program reduces lead times to keep design
engineers on schedule in meeting tight customer deadlines. Eliminating
the need to compromise in the selection of strain gages, the program’s
lineup includes a variety of stress analysis patterns, ensuring that the
right gage for the best results is always available. Super Stock
patterns include our most popular precision stress analysis strain gages
which are used to meet demanding testing requirements in the
transportation, infrastructure, and consumer markets. Click

Force Sensors
Combining weighing and counting modes with an array of advanced features
and communication interfaces, the Intuition 20i and Intuition 22i were
recently launched, providing versatile solutions for a wide range of
commercial and industrial applications. For truck, bench, floor and
counting scales, the Intuition 20i and Intuition 22i were developed to
optimize inventory control applications, with battery-powered versions
available. The instruments include full diagnostics and offer
customizable hardware and software for any application involving legal
for trade weighing. Now available, more information can be found by clicking
here.
Weighing and Controls Systems
The new G5 family of weighing instruments, the latest generation of the
company’s modular high-speed systems for industrial weighing and force
measurement applications, was introduced by BLH Nobel and first
displayed at the European Expo Industrial Fair in Kristianstad,
Scandinavia in early April. The G5 family increases speed and
performance, offering intuitive operation, easy calibration and advanced
diagnostics. Leveraging the flexibility of the BLH Nobel G5 units,
industrial plants can easily meet today’s complex application demands
while adapting to tomorrow’s evolving requirements. BLH Nobel G5
instruments support a wide range of industrial applications, including
process weighing and control, force measurement, factory automation,
high dynamic force measurement, and high-speed batching/blending systems.
Well-received and already in use, the G5 will be featured at the
upcoming Atlantic Canada Petroleum Show, to be held June 22-23 in Mile
One Centre, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Visit VPG at the BLH
Nobel booth 1420. For more information about the show, click

those anticipated, expected, estimated, or projected. Among the factors
that could cause actual results to materially differ include: general
business and economic conditions, changes in the current pace of
economic recovery; difficulties or delays in completing acquisitions and
integrating acquired companies(including the acquisitions of Stress-Tek
and Pacific Instruments); the inability to realize anticipated synergies
and expansion possibilities; difficulties in new product development;
changes in competition and technology in the markets that we serve and
the mix of our products required to address these changes; changes in
foreign currency exchange rates; difficulties in implementing our ERP
systems and the associated impact on manufacturing efficiencies and
customer satisfaction; difficulties in implementing our cost reduction
strategies, such as underutilization of production facilities, labor
unrest or legal challenges to our lay-off or termination plans,
operation of redundant facilities due to difficulties in transferring
production to lower-labor-cost countries; and other factors affecting
our operations, markets, products, services, and prices that are set
forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
