Magnetic components and assemblies for medical, aerospace, and industrial applications
Dexter Magnetic Technologies manufactures and designs magnetic circuits, permanent magnets, and assemblies across medical devices, aerospace, and industrial sectors. The tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing operation—CAD tools (Solidworks, Inventor, Creo), simulation (Ansys Maxwell, COMSOL), and ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle, Epicor, NetSuite)—with active hiring concentrated in manufacturing and engineering roles. Project velocity centers on NPI processes, lean transformation, and cost reduction, while pain points highlight quality compliance and low-volume/high-mix production challenges; European expansion efforts suggest geographic scaling pressure.
Dexter Magnetic Technologies, founded in 1951 and headquartered in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, designs and manufactures magnetic assemblies, permanent magnets, and electromagnetic systems for medical devices, aerospace & defense, and industrial markets. The company also distributes and customizes soft magnetic components including ferrite cores, powder cores, and amorphous cores. With 201–500 employees, Dexter operates as a build-to-print and design-to-order manufacturer serving both high-complexity aerospace/defense specifications and medical device applications. Current operations span the United States and Germany.
Dexter uses Solidworks, Inventor, and Creo for CAD; Ansys Maxwell and COMSOL for magnetic field simulation; and SAP, Oracle, Epicor, or NetSuite for ERP and production planning.
Active projects include NPI stage-gate process development, lean transformation, manufacturing cost reduction, design of experiments for process capability, and kaizen events focused on quality compliance and low-volume/high-mix production challenges.
