Magnetics

What Magnetics does

Magnetics is a privately held U.S. manufacturer, headquartered in Pittsburgh and founded in 2015, that designs and produces precision soft magnetic components for power electronics applications. The company's product portfolio spans three core technology families — powder cores (Kool Mu, Kool Mu Ultra, Kool Mu MAX, Kool Mu HF, XFlux, XFlux Ultra, MPP, Edge, High Flux), MnZn ferrite cores, and tape wound cores (including nanocrystalline, amorphous, and nickel-iron/silicon-iron alloys such as Orthonol, Permalloy 80, Supermalloy, 48 Alloy, and Magnesil). Magnetics positions itself as the only global supplier with in-house development, design, and manufacturing capability across all three core types, and holds ISO 9001, REACH, RoHS, and IATF 16949 certifications, the last of which qualifies it for automotive supply chains.

The company serves five primary end-markets: uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), renewable energy, telecommunications, automotive, and industrial power electronics. Its products address inductance stability under DC bias, core loss minimization, thermal performance, and high-frequency operation (including GaN/SiC-compatible grades), enabling customers to shrink magnetics while improving efficiency in inverters, power supplies, and DC-DC converters.

Magnetics generates revenue through hardware sales of magnetic components, distributed via a global authorized distributor network with real-time online inventory visibility and supplemented by direct enterprise sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contract cadences typical of design-in relationships. The company augments its components with a free online design tools platform, cross-reference search, and an extensive technical documentation library, executing a sales-led, engineering-focused go-to-market motion targeting design engineers and procurement teams at electronics manufacturers.
