DEFENSE / AEROSPACE
Industry Leader in High Performance Components
Gowanda is a leader in the design and production of robust components for the defense and aerospace industries. Our success is derived from decades of inductor, transformer, magnetics and solenoid expertise combined with focused attention on the requirements in such demanding applications and a collaborative relationship with customers’ design engineering teams. Numerous inductor series have achieved Department of Defense Qualified Product List status as a result of our commitment to the process controls, testing and investment required.
Gowanda is a corporate member of the National Defense Industries Association. NDIA drives strategic dialogue in national security by identifying key issues and leveraging the knowledge and experience of its military, government, industry and academic members to address them.
Important QPL Update
It has come to our attention that there are several errors at the US Defense Logistics Agency website, specifically the omission of Gowanda from the QPL listing for several MIL-PRF-83446 slash numbers. The DLA is taking steps to fix these errors at their website. In the meantime please refer to the original DLA qualification letters for correct information.
