Belden Inc. (the Company, us, we, or our) is a leading global supplier of complete connection solutions that unlock untold possibilities for our customers, their customers and the world. We advance ideas and technologies that enable a safer, smarter and more prosperous future.

Our business is organized around two global businesses, Smart Infrastructure Solutions and Automation Solutions, both of which benefit from favorable secular trends which we expect to drive future growth. Each business represents a reportable segment. Financial information about our segments appears in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We sell our products to distributors, end-users, installers, and directly to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Belden Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1988, but the Company's roots date back to its founding by Joseph Belden in 1902.

As the company reported it, from the “Operating Segments and Geographic Information - Schedule of Revenue from External Customers and Long-Lived Assets Based on Physical Location (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Regions are the filer's own and are not mapped onto a standard list — one company's “Americas” and another's “United States” are different areas, and making them look comparable would mean making at least one of them wrong. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
Revenue by segment
- Automation Solutions
- Smart Infrastructure Solutions
| Segment | FY2025 | FY2024 | FY2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automation Solutions | $1.50B | $1.32B | $1.39B |
| Smart Infrastructure Solutions | $1.22B | $1.14B | $1.12B |
As the company reported it, from the “Operating Segments and Geographic Information - Schedule of Operating Segment Information (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Segments are the filer's own reporting structure, which is a decision about how it runs itself rather than a standard taxonomy: two companies in the same industry routinely divide themselves along different lines, so these are worth reading down a single company rather than across two. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
