Company History
Founded 2007 in Galway, Ireland
TE Connectivity traces its connectivity roots to AMP, founded in 1941 around solderless electrical connection technology. The modern public company emerged from Tyco Electronics, became independent in 2007, and now operates as TE Connectivity plc after a 2024 change in jurisdiction to Ireland.
Terrence R. Curtin has served as the Chief Executive Officer of TE Connectivity since the company's spin-off from Tyco International in 2012, having previously held leadership roles within the Tyco Electronics division. Curtin is the architect of the company's modern strategic direction, initiating a massive portfolio transformation that systematically divested billions of dollars in low-margin, commoditized power and legacy telecom assets. He reinvested the proceeds entirely into high-speed data interconnects, advanced sensor technologies, and high-voltage automotive architectures, fundamentally altering the company's growth profile. Under his leadership, TE Connectivity executed the transformative $500 million acquisition of Measurement Specialties in 2016, which injected a massive portfolio of advanced sensor technologies into the Industrial Solutions segment. Curtin has guided the company through multiple severe macroeconomic cycles, including the 2020 pandemic and the 2024 industrial destocking crisis, maintaining a relentless focus on operational discipline, margin expansion, and free cash flow generation.
