FIND YOUR PART NOW
Welcome to Rowse Military, a division of Rowse that is dedicated to military supplies and spare parts. Ever since Britain and France signed the Treaty of Dunkirk on March 4th, 1947, more and more countries have been coming together under the Treaty of Alliance and Mutual Assistance which evolved into NATO. Part of NATO's work involves the issue and cataloguing of equipment, and Rowse has been involved in this ever since our company was founded. We are a trusted supplier to the military, and are a proud stockist of NSN Parts and other required equipment. Our dedication to this aspect of our business means that we have a special NSN Parts Finder which can automatically locate any stock-listed item within moments.
Rowse was founded by John Rowse in 2004, following a career centred around Plymouth's historic dockyards. He completed his Electrical Engineer Apprenticeship at Her Majesty's Naval Base at Devonport, and worked in the Royal Naval Dockyard for many years on frigates and submarines. John subsequently left the service to pursue a career in distribution, setting up Rowse Electrical Wholesale in Plymouth.
Working in the Dockyard gave John both the knowledge and the connections required to progress to supplying the Navy, and for more than ten years, John and the Rowse team held the contract for sole supply of electrical items to the Plymouth site. Although the Plymouth dockyard has now passed into private ownership and no longer makes ships, maintenance is still carried out there.
Rowse has been working in the electrical industry since 2004, supplying electrical goods and services to the local area in Devon, as well as nationally and internationally. Plymouth is historically the heart of the British navy, and has been at the centre of naval and military operations ever since the 1660s, so we are ideally situated to supply specialist and urgent items to locally based installations.
Our expertise and knowledge gained from working with the Devonport Dockyard enabled us to expand our reach to other facilities in the UK, from HMNB Portsmouth to HMNB Clyde. As the Royal Navy decommissioned and sold its technology to other countries, the need for a specialist procurement company such as Rowse has also developed in these territories, so that we now supply partners of the UK's naval and military services, including the navies of Chile and Canada.
We pride ourselves on getting to know our customers, and on providing top quality service with a friendly and welcoming approach. Our teams of expert designers and engineers can field many years of combined experience in military and associated equipment, and we are always on hand to offer advice and assistance when necessary. Rowse is proud to be a key supplier to the UK defence industry, and we are renowned for our ability to source obsolete and hard-to-find parts. Our team enjoys nothing more than helping you track down exactly what it is you need to get your equipment up and running again.
Although our history started in electrical spares for the Royal Navy, our expertise now extends to all technical products required in the defence industries, and Rowse supplies defence products to land, air and sea services. We carry large stocks of military-approved items, and our easy-to-use NSN Parts Finder saves you time and stress when ordering.
