BURNDY® was founded on July 19, 1924 as Burndy Engineering Company in Brooklyn, New York, by science historian and civic leader Bern Dibner. The name BURNDY® is a contraction of Dr. Dibner’s first name and last initial, “BERN D”. Dr. Dibner designed and patented a universal connector, requiring neither soldering nor welding thereby enabling a unified grid.

In October 2009 BURNDY® became a part of the HUBBELL Electrical Systems family of companies (NYSE: HUB.B).

BURNDY® today is a global organization that has pioneered in the manufacture of connectors, fittings and tools for electrical utilities, commercial, industrial and residential contractors, maintenance and repair companies, as well as the telecommunication and renewable energies market.
