History

Belden was founded in Chicago in 1902. [2] It was acquired by Crouse-Hinds Company in 1980; Crouse-Hinds was acquired by Cooper Industries in 1981 and spun off Belden as an independent company in 1993. In 2004 the company merged with Cable Design Technologies forming Belden CDT Inc. (now Belden Inc.) and since then the company has been headquartered in St. Louis. In 2005 John Stroup became CEO.

In April 2023, Belden donated $100,000 to the Richmond Fire Department in Indiana. The goal was to improve and replace equipment for the firefighters and their safety. [3]
