On a recent trip, I was reminded how brands and brand names can really resonate with customers. Whether it’s a soft drink, technology, automobile or even fast food, customers flock to trusted brands they know and acknowledge as a quality product. On the plane ride back, I realized that GDCA didn’t really have a recognized brand or symbol. After multiple sketches of various labels and emblems, the Legacy Protected logo emerged.

The "Legacy Protected" trademark was developed by GD California, Inc in November of 2005. It is a symbol of our commitment to managing legacy product life cycles for customers that need extended support. When you see GD California’s Legacy Protected logo, you can be assured that the product was produced with the highest quality standards, built to the original manufacturers specifications and is a product that is protected against obsolescence by the leader in the industry.

Since 1987, GD California has licensed the ability to manufacture and support more than 3,000 products from embedded computer companies. When these products were transferred to us, they usually contained considerable component obsolescence. We promised the end customers that we would not obsolete any products transferred to GD California and so far, we have always come through for them. We had to become very good at acquiring and storing hard-to-find components. GD California goes through extraordinary lengths to guarantee the long-term availability of its legacy embedded products.

Look for the Legacy Protected symbol to ensure that you have product backed by GD California. Do you have more questions or comments? Send us an email. We would like to hear from you.
