MPD Components, Inc. traces its roots back over 100 years to the very beginning of electric power and the electronic age. Its products can be found in most aircraft, on-board spacecraft, on ships at sea, installed in the latest medical diagnostic equipment, and in industrial service around the world. MPD maintains a high level vertical integration in manufacturing in order to guarantee the best possible quality to our customers.

MPD Components, Inc. saves time and money by being a more capable supplier. Most suppliers can only perform one or two operations. As a component is built, it must be shuttled from one supplier to the next, consuming additional time and wasting money on scheduling, inspections, handling and shipping. MPD builds its components under one roof from start to finish, saving time and money. MPD is wholly owned by its employees.
