In 1963 Elna Magnetics began doing business in a one-room schoolhouse with just three employees.  Today Elna has grown to a renowned authorized distributor of soft ferrite, powdered iron, MPP and amorphous alloy magnetic cores and accessories and a state-of-the-art manufacturing and machining center.
Being a distributor for Fair-Rite Products, Ferroxcube, Metglas Inc., MH&W and MMG, as well as stocking HUIGAO Magnetics, Magnetics Inc. and TGL product lines, Elna offers an extensive range of magnetic products that provide standard and custom solutions for power, signal and suppression applications.

Elna has always provided their customers with cutting edge technology, professional service and the highest value. They appreciate all of their customers and are committed to supporting customer needs to the fullest.
