Evans Group

What Evans Group does

Evans Group is a privately held U.S. specialty capacitor manufacturer founded in 1996 and headquartered in East Providence, Rhode Island, with additional operations in Phoenix, Arizona and Sanford, Maine. The company operates a multi-brand portfolio spanning Evans (hybrid wet tantalum capacitors), Eulex (RF ceramic), Paktron (film), and UTC (ceramic), having consolidated these brands under the Evans Group umbrella following its rebranding from Quantic Evans. Its core technical franchise is a patented hybrid wet tantalum architecture that pairs a Tantalum Pentoxide anode with a Ruthenium Oxide cathode to deliver what the company describes as the most power-dense capacitors in the industry, with associated size, weight, and power (SWaP) savings versus traditional capacitor technologies.

The company sells primarily to tier 1 aerospace and defense contractors, with secondary exposure to energy (including electric propulsion and oil and gas), industrial, medical, space, and AI data center power applications. Specific use cases include radar T/R modules, power hold-up per MIL-STD-704 and DO-160, directed energy, high-energy laser, high-power microwave, missiles, and counter-UAS drone defense. Products carry ten active DLA part qualifications (DLA 15010, 09021, 04001, 04003, 04004, 09022, 04005, 10004, 93026, and 04006) renewed through January 2026, with the THQ line having over 20 years of in-service field history, and space-grade parts routinely tested to NASA EEE INST-002.

Evans generates revenue through direct hardware sales of capacitors and capacitor bank assemblies, supported by an enterprise field-sales motion, a network of authorized distributors, and regional sales representatives. Pricing is quote-based and customized to customer electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements. The company employs 51-100 people and has no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or management team details in the available data.
