President and CEO R. Adam Norwitt will assume the additional role of chairman of the board effective at the company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, expected in May.
Current Chairman Martin H. Loeffler plans to retire from the board at that time, ending more than 50 years with the company. Loeffler previously served as president from 1987 to 2006 and as CEO from 1996 to 2008. He has been board chairman since 1997.
As part of the transition, board member David P. Falck will continue serving as lead independent director, a role he has held since 2016.
Norwitt has served as CEO since 2009 and has overseen an expansion strategy centered on acquisitions that have broadened Amphenol’s product lines, end markets and global footprint.
The company is a manufacturer of electrical, electronic and fiber-optic connectors, cable and interconnect systems, antennas and sensors.
The leadership change announcement follows a strong earnings report last week, when
Amphenol posted record fourth-quarter and full-year results. The company said quarterly sales rose 49% to $6.44 billion and full-year sales increased 52% to $23.1 billion.
