About
The company was founded in 1900 as The Sparks-Withington Company in Jackson, Michigan, won its first sonobuoy contract in 1951 and became Sparton Corporation in 1956. In 1984 it formed ERAPSCO, a joint venture with Magnavox (now Ultra), to design, develop and manufacture U.S. Navy sonobuoys and transducers.
Sparton was purchased by Cerberus in 2018, acquired by Elbit Systems of America in 2021 and acquired Logos Technologies in 2022. In 2026 Sparton became Twenty-Six Defense Maritime. The DeLeon Springs facility, home to over 1,000 employees, handles engineering and manufacturing and is the center of its ASW and undersea warfare work.
