Tamura

Microtran Corporation was founded in 1951 and produced high-quality magnetic components for commercial and military applications. Its overseas factories provided expanded production capacity at a very cost-effective price for large-volume demand. Modified catalog products and custom designs could be provided upon special order to meet customers' exact requirements. In 1994, Tamura Corporation of America acquired Microtran's product line and customer base. Prior to this acquisition, Tamura had been a subcontractor for Microtran for at least ten years and had manufactured many of the products listed in Microtran's catalog. Since the acquisition, Tamura has merged identical and similar products into a single product with dual markings of both Tamura and Microtran part numbers. This "dual marking" approach has enabled Tamura to continue supplying customers whose drawings only reference Microtran part numbers.
