Raltron at EDS Leadership Summit 2025

Raltron has built its reputation on the development and manufacture of crystal resonators and clock oscillators. These remain the foundation of its business. Over time, the company has broadened its range to include precision, all designed and produced in the US. In the last decade, Raltron added antennas, filters, RF connectors, and cable assemblies to support growing demand in wireless and IoT applications.

More recently, the company responded to customer requests by introducing a full range of audio components, including ceramic elements, transducers, buzzers, microphones, and filters.

Wolloch noted that while Raltron has traditionally served industrial, consumer, and telecom markets, current growth is coming from compact and specialised devices – particularly wearable technology, wireless price tagging systems, and medical equipment. In the medical space, applications such as glucose metering are driving the need for smaller, high-performance frequency components.

As devices shrink and operating conditions grow more stringent, Raltron is investing heavily in precision. It has increased its design and manufacturing footprint in Florida, aligning with changing geopolitical dynamics and customer preference for local sourcing.

To address tighter tolerance requirements and more compact form factors, Raltron has deployed advanced design tools and leaned on its experienced engineering team.

Technical support remains a key value proposition. Raltron offers in-depth application engineering, with teams in both Florida and China. Services include circuit margin analysis and board-level optimisation, which Wolloch said has become a valued and recurring engagement with customers.

On supply chain strategy, Raltron has diversified its manufacturing by establishing a facility in Vietnam for simpler crystal resonators. It also continues to scale its US operations, partly driven by growing demand from satellite-based Internet and low Earth orbit (LEO) applications. These systems require components with low phase noise, g-sensitivity, and, in some cases, resistance to radiation exposure.

Looking ahead, Wolloch cited growth in both satellite and medical markets, as well as opportunities stemming from the company’s expansion into antennas and audio products.
