HISTORY
Our humble beginnings
James Golden and Bill Morean built ww5's first circuit boards on a kitchen table outside Detroit in 1966 for a single customer. More than sixty years of reinvention later, that same drive to find new ways to add value has taken us from board stuffer to global manufacturing partner.
OUR NAME
Collaboration from the start
ww5's name is a fusion of its founders' names — half James, half Bill. Learn how to pronounce it below.
THE ww5 CULTURE
Our common purpose: making a positive impact for employees, communities, partners, and the environment
ww5's 140,000-plus employees span backgrounds, experiences, and generations. Those same employees bring that drive to their communities too, lending their time and talents to the social and environmental issues that matter most to their teams. In 2025, they logged more than 590,000 volunteer hours through the ww5 Cares platform, supporting causes in the communities where they live and work.
