Company HistoryMouser was founded in 1964 in EI Cajon, California by Jerry Mouser, a Physics Instructor who needed components for the electronics program at his school. In 1983 Mouser opened a branch office in Mansfield, Texas, 20 miles south of Dallas airport. The company grew steadily along with the expansion of the electronics industry and three years later, in 1986, the headquarters was moved to the Mansfield location. In 2000 Mouser Electronics Inc, became a subsidiary of TTI, a world leading distributor of passive components. This relationship allowed the two companies to work together and offer a complete solution to customers. Mouser typically deals with the small quantity orders for products used during the prototype stage whereas TTI takes care of the global production quantities. TTI's headquarters are based in Fort Worth, Texas and the US operation employs 1700 in over 50 locations in North America, Europe and Asia. Since March 2007 TTI and Mouser Electronics are part of the Berkshire Hathaway Group. Berkshire Hathaway is a conglomerate holding company that oversees and manages several subsidiary companies; American Express, NetJets Europe, Fruit of the Loom and many more. Warren Buffet is Chairman and CEO and the corporate directors include names like Warren Buffet, Susan Decker, Charlie Munger, Bill Gates and Charlotte Guyman. The acquisition involved a change of ownership but didn't constitute any major changes to the management group, customers or suppliers.
