richard klausBill is president of AEC, the company his father, Richard M. Klaus, founded April 1,1961. Using electromagnetics in automation was new then, but the attraction of using electromagnets to lift, hold, bundle, sift, transfer and handle ferrous materials for manufacturing caught on. Bill joined his dad at AEC after graduting from The Ohio State University with two degrees, one in business, the other in engineering. Bill has spent his entire career designing and building automation solutions at AEC. Please read our interesting story here, there is really no other like it!  

Don't waste your time searching the Internet. Click here to contact Bill Klaus at AEC.  If it's magnetic, Bill has seen it, invented it, designed it or repaired it. If it's magnetic, it's AEC. And there's this: Bill genuinely enjoys talking to customers and learning about their businesses.  He'll take all the time necessary to understand what you are looking for and what you need before he offering safe, affordable, guaranteed magnetic options. Then again, he might explain why a magnetic solution may not be the right solution for your application.

AEC Electromagnet RockMIllsAEC Magnetics' power supplies, magnetic tools, permanent magnets and electromagnets--from small end-of-arm-tooling for electromagnets to large electromagnets that lift, bundle and transfer material--are in service at factories and manufacturing facilities worldwide. We build our electromagnets with only top-grade components, such as forged eyebolts, high-grade copper and the best epoxy available. AEC cores are hand-wound and hand-soldered piece by piece. Every AEC magnet is tested before it leaves our dock, and is guaranteed to work as promised.

AEC is also an original importer of permanent magnets from China. We built one of the industry's most reliable supply chain of producers and suppliers long before other companies, and maintain strong relationships with these companies. This relationship is incredibly important right now, since China completely dominates the permanent magnetics space. The sources we have developed, and the relationships we have forged over this time ensure that you will receive no substitutions in grade or quality of material. You can be confident you are getting the "real deal," not some cheap imitation or material of inferior quality. AEC Magnetics' 65 years, and Bill Klaus's 44 years, of magnetics expertise and material handling experience are a tremendous advantage for you.

This is how we are truly different from our competitors.  Bill will tell you AEC was founded  specifically to offer quality magnetic solutions, one customer at a time.  We are flattered to have many imitators, but for 65 years, if it's magnetic, it's been AEC. AEC Magnetics has provided tens of thousands of industrial magnetics solutions. We know what we are doing. As Bill says, "Anyone can sell you a magnet, but no one can sell you a better magnetic solution than AEC Magnetics."
