A Chat with Magnum Magnetics

Magnum Magnetics opened its doors in 1991, completing its first production run of flexible magnetic sheeting in May 1992 in a 10,000-square-foot facility in Marietta, OH. The company was founded with a clear purpose: to provide high-quality, domestically manufactured flexible magnetic materials supported by responsive, customer-focused service. As customer demand grew, so did our capabilities. Today, Magnum Magnetics operates two Ohio manufacturing facilities totaling approximately 170,000 square feet, producing a broad range of flexible permanent magnetic products, including sheeting, strip and extruded magnets. Our growth has always been driven by customer partnerships, employee dedication and continuous investment in modern, environmentally responsible manufacturing processes. We remain committed to meeting customer needs quickly and efficiently without sacrificing quality.

Could you give an overview of your products and services?

Magnum Magnetics offers both retail-packaged and bulk magnetic solutions to serve a wide range of customers, from craft retailers to large distribution partners. Our retail brand, PROMAG, provides popular magnetic products for home, school, office and craft applications, while we also offer private-label and custom-branded programs for retail partners. We supply products such as magnetic buttons, magnetic tape, adhesive magnetic sheets, photo paper, printable magnetic materials, business cards, calendars, picture frames and bulk magnetic materials for crafters and makers who prefer non-retail packaging. Additionally, we offer fulfillment services including direct-to-Amazon preparation and drop-shipping capabilities, helping partners streamline logistics and reach customers efficiently.

How do your products stand out from other magnetic offerings on the market?

Our products stand apart through a commitment to U.S. manufacturing, consistent product quality and world-class customer service. We focus not only on delivering reliable magnetic performance, but also on providing customers with knowledgeable support and dependable supply. Retailers and distributors know they can count on consistent quality, predictable availability and responsive service.

What is your most popular/bestselling product, and what do you ascribe to its popularity?

Among PROMAG retail offerings, magnetic buttons and magnetic tape remain our most popular products. Their popularity comes from versatility. Both products are staples across arts and crafts, classroom projects, home organization, DIY décor and light commercial applications. Customers appreciate how easy they are to use and how many creative and practical applications they support.

Where do you source your materials from? How do you ensure quality?

Whenever possible, Magnum Magnetics sources raw materials from U.S. suppliers, ensuring strong supply partnerships and consistent quality. Quality control begins with raw material selection and continues through every stage of production. We understand that delivering a reliable finished product requires starting with high-quality inputs, so we maintain strict quality standards throughout manufacturing and product conversion processes. In addition, our products are manufactured to comply with California Proposition 65 requirements, providing retailers and consumers added confidence that materials meet important safety and regulatory standards.

What other markets, apart from arts and crafts, do you cater to?
Beyond arts and crafts and retail applications, Magnum Magnetics serves a broad range of industries including commercial printing, signage and graphics, advertising, engineering and OEM applications, office products and industrial labeling. Flexible magnetic materials are used wherever removable, reusable and versatile attachment solutions are needed.

How far do you distribute?

Our primary distribution footprint is North America, but Magnum Magnetics products are used worldwide through distribution partners and global customers.

How often do you launch new products? What’s your newest product?

Our product development team continually evaluates new product opportunities while also improving existing offerings. We regularly review customer feedback and market trends to guide innovation. Our newest addition is a premium dry-erase color monthly magnetic calendar, designed to combine organization and décor while providing durable, reusable performance for homes and offices.

What are you most proud of about working at Magnum Magnetics?
