History
Walter Werner Fischer, a pioneering Swiss engineer, founded the company in 1954 in Morges, Switzerland. The company developed the first sealed connector and, in 1962, took out an international patent on its proprietary push-pull locking system. In 1964 it developed a hermetic connector.
Overseas expansion started with the first subsidiary being established in the UK in 1988, followed by other European countries, North America in 1991 and the first Asian subsidiary in Hong Kong in 2000.
In 2017, Fischer Connectors became partner to SolarStratos. In the PriceWaterHouseCoopers Study presented at the 18th Swiss Economic Forum in Interlaken on June 1, 2017, Fischer Connectors was designated Swiss Champion 2017 for its Industry 4.0 approach.
