Last year, we launched our podcast, featuring conversations with engineers, industry experts, and insiders across aerospace, energy, audio, and more. Stay tuned for new episodes in 2026.
Unmanned Aircraft: A Breakout Year
We've been working in the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) space for years—but 2025 was a banner year.
From AI-powered drones to next-gen ISR platforms, demand for high-reliability magnetics in unmanned flight has surged. With the rise of autonomous warfare, swarm drone technology, and long-endurance tactical systems, precision-engineered magnetics have never been more vital.
Our components are flying in systems where failure is not an option—and performance under extreme conditions is a baseline requirement. Pacific Transformer continues to support both defense primes and cutting-edge commercial UAV manufacturers with custom solutions that meet the moment.
Vertical Transportation: Still Leading the Way
Over 50% of elevators and escalators in North America run on magnetics designed and built by Pacific Transformer. When the pressure's on, the industry turns to us.
