FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dominic J. Pileggi

For over 100 years, Thomas & Betts has been a leader in the electrical industry. No other company can match our record of product "firsts" or our influence in shaping safe and consistent electrical standards and practices. Our brands are asked for by name, known for their quality and trusted by electricians, installers, engineers and consumers to be best.

Our corporate goals are simple: We want to be the brand of choice for the end user of our products; the supplier of choice for our distributor and utility customers; and the employer of choice for our employees.

To help us achieve these goals, we are focused on innovation, service and quality. We have created a culture where every employee shares the responsibility for customer satisfaction. Every day, everywhere, every interaction is an opportunity to differentiate ourselves and improve our value proposition. To capture these opportunities, we focus on the fundamentals - reliable and innovative products, best in class customer service, disciplined financial management, and a willingness to listen, learn and think out of the box when addressing the challenges of today's competitive environment.

I believe that we have all the resources needed to execute our strategic intiatives and remain a leader in our industries. I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our legacy of innovation, power of our brands and the people and culture supporting our success.
