Woodward is a global leader in energy control solutions.
Founded in 1870 and headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA, the company was founded by its founder, Amos Woodward, who invented the Woodward governor, which was crucial to major infrastructure projects of the time. Today, Woodward is an independent designer, manufacturer, and service provider of energy conversion and control solutions for aerospace and industrial equipment.
Woodward's business is primarily divided into two divisions: aerospace and industrial. In the aerospace sector, it provides products such as fuel pumps and metering units for turbine engines and nacelles, as well as cockpit controls for aircraft. In the industrial sector, its products include actuators, valves, and pumps, which are widely used in industrial gas turbines, steam turbines, and other equipment.
The advantages of Woodward's products are primarily reflected in the following aspects:
Leading Technological Innovation: Woodward continuously invests in research and development, possessing numerous advanced technologies, such as more efficient fuel systems, advanced combustion control technologies, and electronic control systems. Its self-learning and adaptive aircraft engine control systems automatically optimize control strategies by analyzing and learning from flight data in real time. Excellent Product Performance: In the aerospace sector, its fuel pumping and metering systems offer high reliability and low fuel consumption. Its servovalves deliver high performance and reliability even in harsh environments.
Its actuator platforms offer exceptional reliability and cost-effectiveness, while maintaining exceptional functional density while being lightweight. In the industrial sector, its CPC-II electro-hydraulic current-to-pressure converters, for example, utilize "fouling buster" technology to remove dirt as small as 40μm, reducing or eliminating filter maintenance. They also offer industry-leading stability and precise throttle control.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio: We offer a broad range of products and systems covering fuel and air management, combustion, electronic controls, actuators, and sensors, serving a variety of applications from commercial aviation to industrial applications, meeting the diverse needs of diverse customers.
Extensive Industry Experience: Founded in 1870, the company has over 150 years of experience in engine controller design and manufacturing, accumulating deep industry knowledge in the aerospace and industrial sectors and providing a deep understanding of customer needs.
Global Presence: With production and assembly facilities worldwide and robust supply chain management capabilities, we are able to better serve our international customers and respond quickly to market changes. Good brand reputation: As a world-leading designer, manufacturer and service provider of energy conversion and control solutions, we have a good brand reputation, which helps us attract new customers and establish long-term and stable cooperative relationships with existing customers.
