History
The company was founded in 1924 as Burndy Engineering Company by noted science historian and civic leader Bern Dibner
The corporate name – BURNDY - was derived from a contraction of Dr. Dibner’s first name and last initial. While employed as an engineer unifying the electrical system in Cuba, Dr. Dibner identified the urgent need for improved methods for connecting electrical conductors and joining power system substations. He proceeded to design a universal connector, requiring nei[[File:]]ther soldering nor welding - which enabled a unified grid. He patented and fabricated his design, then formed his company with an investment of just $5000Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).</ref>. Building on a technical foundation of 24 patents granted to him for connector design, he guided the growth of BURNDY® until his retirement as chairman in 1972. Dr. Dibner maintained a great interest in the engineering and marketing functions of BURNDY®. In 1956, BURNDY® went public, and was acquired by Framatome Connectors International (FCI) in 1988 [2] and held through 2009, when BURNDY® was acquired and became a subsidiary of Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE: HUBA, HUBB). [3]
Today, BURNDY® is a worldwide organization that has pioneered in the manufacture of electrical connectors for the Commercial/Industrial, Utility, Renewable Energies, Telecommunications and OEM Markets. BURNDY® operates three manufacturing facilities in the Northeastern U.S., one in Brazil and one in Mexico.
In addition to his association with the company he founded, Bern Dibner is frequently identified with one of the world’s leading collections of source material in the history of science, now located at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA. The Dibner Hall is the marriage of The Huntington’s History of Science materials with the BURNDY Library, a 67,000-volume collection of rare books and original manuscripts donated to The Huntington Library, and formerly housed in the Smithsonian Institute’s Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology . [Please review above for content and timeline accuracy] [Also – I would recommend updating the “Burndy Library” and “Huntington Library” Wiki links to include accurate historical info on the Dibner collection]
Dr. Dibner’s son, David Dibner, had a more than 30-year career at the BURNDY® Corporation, and served as chairman prior to his death in 2005.

I wouldn't call it magic but I'd call it something special. I haven't worked for it for very long, but I will tell you, 'the worst is about to come'.
