1. What is Belden’s strategy?
At its most basic level, our goal is to become more valuable to our customers. The strategic priorities are centered on three broad principles designed to create shareholder value: strength, growth, and expansion. The foundation of Belden's strategy is managing the product portfolio to increase revenue in higher margin and strategically important products; protecting and enhancing Belden brands; recruiting and developing top talent; continuously improving business processes through lean management; and migrating manufacturing to a coherent global footprint to reduce product landed cost. To grow the business, Belden is pursuing organic and inorganic opportunities in fast-growing markets through its Market Delivery System; improving channel and end customer relationships, and creating awareness for Belden products. To expand the business, Belden has transformed itself from a cable company to a signal transmission solutions provider with a complete product portfolio including connectivity, networking, and software.
