Our goal is and has always been to work with every customer and supplier as a partner. It is important to treat everyone along the entire supply chain with respect and professionalism. We know that listening and asking questions is critical to finding the right magnet solutions. We pursue these solutions with advanced thinking and a use of technology advancements to optimize the magnetics within an application.

We have assisted customers in virtually every industry and have counseled customers in some of the most complex magnet applications known. Our customers have come to rely on us for assistance in material selection, design, innovation, creativity, and knowledge in permanent magnets. We are committed to our “Customer as Partners” philosophy, and repeatedly have our customers tell us that we “think differently and provide solutions.”

Our U.S. operation, which includes Engineering, Technical Sales, Marketing, Operations, Quality Control, and Administration, is located in Alabama with additional resources for Engineering in Louisville, KY and San Jose, CA, and quick-turn production also in Louisville, KY. Our Magnet Manufacturing, Magnetic Assembly, MIM Facilities, and Quality Management Systems are located in China and Vietnam. All of our facilities hold certifications ISO 9001, 14001, 18001, and 27001 with additional factories that are also TS16949 for automotive and ISO 13485 for medical.

Globally, we employ over 3,500 engineering, technical and assembly personnel. We respond quickly to requests for engineering review, prototypes, ramp-up in manufacturing, and putting Quality Management Systems in place. Our engineering staff continues to grow, but today it is comprised of over 175+ engineers with magnetic, electrical, motor development, mechanical, and industrial engineering expertise.
