Mouser electronics the life of an order
History
Mouser Electronics was founded in El Cajon, California by Jerry Mouser in 1964. Jerry Mouser was a physics teacher who needed components for an electronics program at his high school.
In 1983, his company relocated to its branch location in Mansfield, Texas and in 2001, expanded into a new facility on seven acres there. In January 2000, Mouser became a wholly owned subsidiary of TTI, Inc. in Fort Worth, Texas. In December 2006, a majority ownership of TTI was sold to Warren Buffett controlled Berkshire Hathaway. In 2007, the company expanded its warehouse and office space by 231,800 square feet.
Mouser cosponsored the SAE 2013 Counterfeit parts Avoidance Symposium in Canada.
The company has been presented awards such as "Electronics Choice Industry Award for Community Activism - Social or Educational Cause" from the Electronic Components Industry Association in 2013 and from connector manufacturer Harting in 2013 for "New Customer Growth" and "New Product Growth", and Littelfuse in 2011, for "Catalog Distributor of the Year".
In early 2016, a 250,000 square foot expansion facility will be completed next to their current warehouse in Texas.
