Midan Electronics company history timeline

1976

Serving the electronics & controls industries since 1976

1981

Printed circuit boards still generated the biggest share of sales--35 percent--by 1981.

1984

For 1984, those two products accounted for 61 percent of the company's $82.4 million in revenue, and one-fifth of Methode's net sales for the year came from one company, General Motors.

1986

Methode made one major geographical move in 1986; in order to be closer to manufacturers in the Far East, the company opened a plant in Singapore that year.

1989

Meanwhile, the company's car controls continued to sell like hotcakes, and Methode's overall sales reached $122 million for the fiscal year ending in April of 1989.

No takers emerged, however, and by the middle of 1989, Graphic's Trident troubles were solved, enabling the subsidiary to begin operating profitably once again.

1992

By 1992, General Motors, which had previously made its own air bag connectors, finally became the last of the Big Three to sign on with Methode.

1993

In July of 1993, the company purchased Mikon, Ltd., a manufacturer of fiber-optic cable assemblies, based in Haverhill, England.

1995

Methode Electronics, Inc. was founded by William McGinley just after the end of World War II. As of 1995, McGinley remained the only company president in Methode's half-century history.
