Volex PLC

Volex PLC is a publicly traded company headquartered in Basingstoke, United Kingdom, founded in 1892. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker VLX. With a global workforce of approximately 13,000 employees, Volex reported a trailing 12-month revenue of $1.15 billion as of September 30, 2025.

Volex specializes in the integrated manufacturing of performance-critical applications and power and data connectivity solutions. Its product portfolio includes power cords, plugs, connectors, receptacles, custom wiring harnesses, and high-speed copper interconnect/data transfer cables. The company also offers electric vehicle charging solutions and integrated manufacturing services, serving diverse markets such as consumer electronics, medical equipment, data centers, telecommunications, industrial robotics, and the automotive industry.

Volex PLC's patent litigation posture, as indicated by the tracked cases, shows it exclusively as a plaintiff in three Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings against Credo Technology Group Ltd. These actions, all initiated in 2025, suggest Volex is an operating company actively challenging the validity of patents held by a competitor, rather than being a non-practicing entity.

A notable aspect of Volex's litigation context involves a patent dispute with Credo Technology Group. In March 2025, Credo filed a patent infringement complaint against Volex and other companies related to Active Electrical Cable (AEC) technology. However, Volex and Credo announced a settlement and licensing agreement on August 26, 2025, resolving the patent dispute and leading to the dismissal of the lawsuit. The terms of this agreement remain confidential.
