What Quantic Electronics does

Quantic Electronics, LLC (DBA Quantic Now) is a private-equity-backed holding company headquartered in East Providence, Rhode Island that consolidates specialty electronic component manufacturers serving mission-critical defense, aerospace, and industrial applications. Founded in 2020 and backed by Arcline Investment Management, the company has executed an aggressive roll-up strategy, completing at least eight disclosed acquisitions between March 2021 and May 2024 to assemble a portfolio of 13 brands organized into five technology categories: RF & Microwave (CorryMicronics, Croven, M-Wave Design, Microwave Dynamics, PMI, TRM, Wenzel, X-Microwave), Capacitors (Evans Group, uniting Evans, Paktron, UTC, and Eulex), Resistors (Ohmega Ticer), Magnetics (ECI), and Sensing (BEI and Thistle).

The portfolio delivers passive and active electronic components ranging from individual parts to integrated microwave assemblies with rapid prototyping capabilities. Underlying technologies include EMI/RF filters, precision quartz crystals, ultra-low phase noise oscillators, modular RF building blocks, hybrid wet tantalum and polymer film capacitors, thin-film embedded resistor foils, custom magnetics, and optical encoders. Quantic companies are documented as compliant with DFARS cybersecurity requirements based on NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2, reflecting the defense supply-chain posture required of their end markets.

Quantic generates revenue through direct hardware sales to defense, aerospace, industrial, energy, and emerging quantum-computing customers via an enterprise field-sales motion. Product-specific pricing and ordering are conducted through individual brand websites and direct contact rather than public commerce, with no disclosed pricing model. Leadership comprises President and CEO Ross Sealfon and CFO Kaleo Yamabayashi. The company's stated employee base of 501-1000 includes broad-based equity participation among full-time staff alongside Arcline's controlling ownership.
