Fair-Rite Products Corp.was formed as a partnership in 1952, began production in Wallkill (NY) during March of 1953, and was incorporated in 1955. Production was primarily directed towards the entertainment electronics industry. A branch was established in Palestine (IL) in 1966 to serve mid-west radio and television producers. In 1968, production was broadened to include ferrite shield beads for use in the suppression of electromagnetic interference (EMI). This market grew rapidly, and Fair-Rite offered the first comprehensive kit of ferrite cores designed for this purpose in 1978.

Fair-Rite has been the dominant producer of EMI suppressor cores, holding a 50% market share.

As the electronic industry manufacturing grew in Southeast Asia, Fair-Rite Asia incorporated in Singapore in late 1992 to better support this market. In 1993, Fair-Rite Asia started winding shield beads manufactured in the U.S.A., and in 1994 surface mount bead assembly was added. In late 1997, Fair-Rite China opened and began to manufacture nickel-zinc ferrite EMI components for the Asian market.

In 1990 Fair-Rite started manufacturing absorber tiles for anechoic and semi-anechoic test chambers, and is now the dominant supplier worldwide of these materials.

To improve competitiveness in the North American market, Fair-Rite started a Manufacturing facility in Monterrey (Mexico), which was fully operational by 1999.

Over the last ten years, Fair-Rite has supplied all the manufacturers of automotive air-bags with shield beads for the air actuators, and in 1994, added a dedicated manufacturing line to manufacture multi-hole plates for filtered connectors used in engine control modules for automobiles and trucks.

To meet the requirement of the European market for standard quality systems, Fair-Rite became ISO/QS 9000 certified in 1997.

In 2001, Fair-Rite Europe was started to support and grow the European market. Office and warehouse is located in Grisy-Suisnes, south of Paris in France.

Fair-Rite markets its products worldwide through a network of distributors and sales representatives. The company currently employs approximately 500, and has sales of over $48,000,000, to more than 2,000 factory accounts and several thousand more through distribution.
