Item 2.05 - Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On August 27, 2004, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced its intent to close its Colmar, France small-signal diode assembly facility and transfer production to other Vishay facilities.  The closure of the Colmar facility is consistent with Vishay’s on-going strategy to improve competitiveness and reduce costs by shifting production from high-labor-cost markets to lower-labor-cost markets.

The amount of severance payments was subject to negotiation with the labor council which represents the employees at the Colmar facility.  Vishay and the labor council have now reached an agreement in regard to severance payments. Related to the closure of the Colmar facility, Vishay expects to record a charge to earnings of approximately $26 million during the fourth quarter of 2004, the majority of which will represent severance pay. 


SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
