Town of Woodstock

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. If a standard shape is not the answer, their state-of-the-art manufacturing and machining center is capable of producing one-piece prototypes to millions of parts for customer production requirements.

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. They back their extensive product offerings and machining capabilities with professional and courteous sales, customer service staff, and a knowledgeable engineering staff that will provide answers to questions and assist with designs.
Support for Elna was provided in the form of a $150,000 low-interest loan from the Ulster County Revolving Loan Fund administered by the Ulster County Development Corporation.  Proceeds for the loan facilitated a 5,000 sq. ft. expansion of Elna’s Woodstock facility and the purchase of new machinery and equipment.
