PHOENIX, AZ — July 7, 2026 — Spirit Electronics, a value-added distributor of high-reliability electronics focused on performance-driven program requirements, announced a strategic distribution partnership with Evans Group, a provider of high-reliability capacitors for mission-critical aerospace, defense, energy, and advanced RF systems. Through this partnership, Spirit Electronics becomes an authorized distributor of Evans Group’s specialized capacitor portfolio, enabling faster access to power-dense, high-performance solutions for aerospace primes, defense contractors, and advanced technology programs.
Evans Group delivers one of the industry’s most comprehensive capacitor portfolios engineered for demanding electrical, thermal, and environmental conditions. The unified brand brings together four U.S. manufacturers—Evans, Paktron, UTC, and Eulex—each contributing specialized technologies including hybrid wet tantalum capacitors, multilayer polymer film capacitors, high-reliability MLCCs, and advanced RF ceramic capacitors supporting broadband performance up to 110 GHz.
Strengthening Supply Chain Resilience
This partnership addresses a critical need across aerospace, defense, and high-reliability industrial markets: consistent access to pre-qualified, application-specific capacitors manufactured in the United States. By partnering with Evans Group, Spirit Electronics expands its end-to-end component and manufacturing support model, giving customers a single point of engagement for sourcing high-reliability capacitors alongside design services, assembly, test, and program lifecycle management.
“Spirit Electronics has built a strong reputation for technical expertise and customer support in the aerospace and defense market,” said Todd Oelerich, Director of Sales and Business Development at Evans Group. “Its experience supporting mission-critical programs makes Spirit an outstanding partner for the Evans Group. By combining Spirit’s customer-focused approach with the advanced capacitor technologies of Evans, Paktron, UTC, and Eulex, we can help engineers and procurement teams more easily identify, source, and support the solutions they need for the industry’s most demanding applications.”
Complementary Capabilities, Unified Delivery
The Evans Group collaboration enhances Spirit’s vertically integrated offering—from ASIC design and foundry coordination through advanced packaging, screening, qualification, assembly, and test—now paired with high-performance capacitors engineered for harsh-environment operation. This unified delivery model helps reduce procurement fragmentation, supports consistent program execution, and simplifies sourcing for performance-critical components.
“Strategic partnerships are how we strengthen the defense industrial base,” said Marti McCurdy, CEO of Spirit Electronics. “Evans Group’s long-standing heritage across Evans, Paktron, UTC, and Eulex — combined with their reputation for power-dense, high-reliability capacitors — aligns with our commitment to supporting performance-driven aerospace and defense programs. Their unified brand brings together decades of engineering expertise, and together we’re making it easier for customers to access the components and manufacturing services they need without adding complexity to their supply chain.”
