Quantic Croven (Croven Crystals) celebrates 70 years of innovation and exceptional service to the RF and microwave industry. Since its founding, the company has continually pushed boundaries in quartz crystal resonator technology, supporting a wide array of mission-critical defense and space applications.

“This milestone is a reflection of the trust and confidence that Quantic Croven’s customers have placed in them,” said Ross Sealfon, CEO, Quantic Electronics. “Seven decades of perseverance, innovation, and unwavering commitment have brought Croven to this point, and it’s this heritage that has Croven well-positioned for continued success as part of the Quantic Electronics family.”

The company was originally founded in 1954 as W. Gary-Wright Electronics to assemble quartz crystal resonator products for various Canadian defense applications. It later changed its name to "Croven Ltd." to reflect its focus on crystal oven products. In 1959, the company established the Ovenaire subsidiary, specializing in precision ovens and oscillators. Expanding further in 1963 with the Filtaire division for crystal filter products, Croven Ltd. grew significantly and was acquired in 1967 by Walter Kidde & Co., which led to further expansion of its Whitby facility. By 1979, Croven Ltd. had shifted exclusively to designing precision quartz crystal resonators and became Croven Crystals Ltd. In 2021, the company joined Quantic Electronics, known for mission-critical RF and microwave, power, magnetics and sensing technologies, marking a new chapter in its history of success.
