An Initiative is Born. Seven decades ago, Magnetrol's founders developed a more reliable instrument for liquid level control than was prevalent with the technology of the day. By combining a buoyancy device with the operating principle of magnetic-coupling, the first "Magnetrol" was born. This product performed so reliably for so many new applications that within a decade it became the technological foundation for a broad line of magnetically-operated level controls.
International Growth. When Judy Stevenson became Magnetrol's president and CEO in the 1970s, the initiative to innovate quickened. An expansion into new markets, new technologies and international operations would double -- then double again -- the company's size. Today, with its products serving process industries in over 100 countries, Magnetrol is positioned as a market leader.
Aligned Technologies. Growth for Magnetrol has also come about through the acquisition of companies with aligned technologies. Introtek, acquired in 1986, makes ultrasonic instrumentation for medical, biotechnology and military applications. Magnetrol has also acquired a line of ultrasonic level and flow products under a new division named Magnetrol Environmental. Today, Magnetrol Environmental specializes in products designed for the municipal water and wastewater treatment industries.
Sustaining Innovation. Innovation is a prized resource at Magnetrol. It's sustained by programs that recognize and reward initiative and creativity. Our people nourish innovation through superior engineering, by manufacturing to the highest standards of excellence, and by truly listening to our customers. It's upon these peoples' strengths that we build every day.
