Direct peers

• Bunting Magnetics Co. Bunting designs and manufactures magnetic separators, metal detectors, magnetic lifters and material-handling equipment for food processing, recycling and industrial customers globally. The portfolio, customer verticals and channel model (direct + distribution) overlap almost one-for-one with Eclipse Magnetics, making it a core direct peer.
• Master Magnets: Master Magnets is a UK manufacturer of magnetic separators, drum magnets and metal detectors for recycling, food and mineral processing. It is one of Eclipse's nearest geographic direct competitors, particularly in separation and recycling applications.
• Eriez Magnetics: Eriez is a US-headquartered global manufacturer of magnetic separation, filtration, vibratory and metal-detection equipment serving food, mining, plastics and recycling. It directly competes with Eclipse Magnetics across filters, separators, lifters and workholding, and is the closest scaled direct peer in the magnetic contamination-control category.
• Goudsmit Magnetics Group: Goudsmit is a Dutch manufacturer of permanent magnets, magnetic separation systems, Eddy Current separators, and lifting magnets, exporting globally with similar regulated-industry exposure (food, recycling, metals). Highly comparable European-led direct peer with overlapping filtration/separation/lifting product lines.
• Walmag Magnetics: Walmag Magnetics is a Czech-based designer and manufacturer of permanent magnets, magnetic separators, lifting magnets, and magnetizing systems. Smaller European direct peer overlapping on filters, separators and lifting magnets, especially in EMEA markets.
• Steinert Elektromagnetbau: Steinert is a German specialist in magnetic and sensor-based sorting (Eddy Current, XRT, NIR) for recycling, mining and bulk-material industries. It competes with Eclipse's separation/metal-detection range in bulk solids and recycling, though with a heavier sensor-based recovery focus.
• Industrial Magnetics Inc. (IMI): IMI (including Walker Magnetics assets) is a US magnetic separation, lifting and workholding equipment manufacturer serving food, automotive, plastics, and general industrial customers. It competes head-on with Eclipse in magnetic separation and lifting, with similar food-safety and HACCP compliance positioning.

Emerging players

• Sesotec: Sesotec is a German manufacturer of metal detectors, X-ray inspection, and sorting systems for food, plastics and pharma, and is Eclipse's UK integration partner. It is an adjacent peer and partial competitor — Eclipse resells Sesotec metal detection in the UK while Sesotec's broader sorting offerings also overlap with magnetic separation strategies.

Broad incumbents

• Adams Magnetic Products: Adams Magnetic Products is a US-based long-standing distributor and custom assembler of permanent magnets (NdFeB, SmCo, ferrite, alnico) with magnetic assemblies and tape/labeling operations. It competes with Eclipse's Magnetic Materials and Assemblies division rather than its filtration/separation systems, serving OEM and consumer customers.
• Multotec: Multotec is a South African-listed mineral processing and separation equipment supplier covering magnetic separators, cyclones, spirals and screening. It overlaps with Eclipse's separation business on the mineral-processing side and competes in mining and heavy-industrial contamination-control tenders globally.
