Bowmar - Unmatched in the Market Serving Aerospace and Defense Industries with Precision products

A Global Leader in Precision Mechanical Products : Bowmar, serving the aerospace and defense industries, is a preferred choice in electromechanical and electronic systems/subsystems, high-reliability interface products and precision gear assemblies.

Founder of Bowmar is Ed White, an educated electrical engineer from Harvard University who started Bowmar at the age of 23 in 1951 in his Fort Wayne, Indiana garage. Six months later, after investing $3,500 of his own money and borrowing $6,500 the business was moved to an aircraft hangar. In 1971 Bowmar's biggest defining moment came when they produced the world’s first hand-held calculator, the “Bowmar Brain” led in a new frontier of technological advances. After many changes over the six decades, including a period of time the company was known as White Electric Designs Corporation, Bowmar filed for bankruptcy in 1976. However, the company managed to continue by withdrawing from the consumer market and producing precision mechanical devices used in a variety of landmark products; Apollo Lunar Excursion Modules, F-4’s and jet passenger aircrafts.
