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 degrees, one in business, the other 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 Interne. 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 offers safe, affordable, guaranteed magnetic options. Then again, he might explain why a magnetic solution is not the solution for you.

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 hand-make our electromagnets out of top-grade components. Forged eyebolts, high-grade copper, 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, building the industry's most reliable supply chain of producers and suppliers long before other companies. This relationship is incredibly important at this time, with China's dominance in permanent magnetics. The sources we have developed, and the relationships we have forged, over this time ensures you will no substitutions in grade or quality. AEC assures you are getting the "real deal," not some cheap imitation. AEC Magnetics' 65 years, and Bill Klaus's 44 years of offering magnetics expertise and equpment in material handling experience is a tremendous advantage for you.
