Magnetic AutomationBarriers and Pedestrian Gates.

We are often asked why we are called Magnetic. The answer is simple: the name Magnetic has much to do with our roots. We started in 1946 in Basel in Switzerland as a producer of electric and servo-motors, for which magnets are indispensable. Motors from Magnetic were initially used in sewing machines, washing machines, and many other applications. The production also took place in the German subsidiary in the southern Black Forest from 1959. In the mid-1970s we decided to exploit our wide-ranging experience in the development of drives and control systems not merely for components, but for complete systems. This was when we launched our vehicle and pedestrian barriers.

We do not produce only barriers and pedestrian gates. We develop technologies that set standards regarding function, efficiency, and reliability, shaping a growing market with trailblazing product innovations. We take our customers the decisive step farther – which is why our motto is ‘Access to Progress’.
