magnetik

Magnetik is a multinational technology company focused on magnet-based systems and energy solutions. Headquartered in Zurich, it operates globally with research centers in North America and Asia. The company’s activities span magnetic energy storage, precision motion control, magnetic sensing, and advanced magnetic materials.

Magnetik was established in 2010 by physicist Dr. Lena Armitage as a university spin-out. The early product line consisted of compact magnetic energy storage modules designed for data centers, and the company gradually expanded into magnetic bearings, direct-drive motors, and magnetocaloric refrigeration research.

It develops magnetic energy storage systems that use superconducting or high-density inductive coils; direct-drive motors based on permanent magnets reduce mechanical losses; magnetic bearings and couplings enable high-speed, maintenance-free rotation; magnetocaloric refrigeration research explores solid-state cooling; and high-precision magnetic sensors enable non-contact position and speed measurement.

Magnetik serves data centers, manufacturing, rail, aerospace, and renewable energy sectors. The company emphasizes energy efficiency, reduced wear, and predictive maintenance, and pursues collaborations with universities and industry partners, along with patenting activities.
