35 years of ELSOMA

Since its foundation in 1989 in Schwerte, the Hanseatic city on the Ruhr, ELSOMA has established itself as an innovative and reliable supplier of magnetising and measuring technology for all common materials. Our products are now used in virtually all industries in which permanent magnets are used. With our dedicated and competent team, we look forward to serving new applications and industries.

Company foundation

ELSOMA founded by Franz and Brigitte op den Winkel in Schwerte, Germany
Development and marketing of magnetising units
Focus on small, portable units with integrated magnetising coil

1989

Expansion of the product range

Development of the first fully automatic magnetising devices suitable for integration into automation cells.
Expansion of the product range to include magnetic measuring technology, e.g. flux density measuring devices.

1996

Entry into automation

First fully automatic machines that magnetise and test technically complex magnets in large quantities and at a high production rate so that they can then be transferred to automation cells for further processing.
The initial focus is on the magnetisation of AlNiCo and hard ferrite magnets, such as those used in sensor systems. With ELSOMA magnetisers, it is possible to magnetise them only after they have been completely assembled.

1997

First products for plastic-bonded magnets

Magnetising devices and magnetising equipment for plastic-bonded magnets and magnet systems are now part of ELSOMA's product portfolio.
Highly coercive materials such as SmCo are also taken into account.
The design and manufacture of multipole magnetising devices for multipole magnets in particular has become an important field of activity here.
