Quadrant Magnetics Builds New Expanded
Headquarters Facility

Arnold Magnetic Technologies Opens R&D
Location
Arnold Magnetic Technologies, a global manufacturer of rare
earth magnets, magnetic assemblies, and precision thin metals, has opened a research and development facility at the MGE
Innovation Center in Madison, WI. Arnold's new technical center
enables the company to focus on engineering solutions together
with customers by offering rapid prototyping of permanent magnet,
electromagnetic, thin metals, and a variety of engineered assemblies. The center also engages upstream with product design and
optimization for maximum power density along with a variety of
testing services to validate those designs.

Quadrant Magnetics is now occupying its newly built 45,000 sq ft
world headquarters facility in Louisville, KY, designed to accommodate recent growth and future expansion needs. The company
relocated in February and is now fully operational at the new site,
located about 12 miles from its previous site.
"As our worldwide industry markets and clients are expanding rapidly, Quadrant realized
the need to efficiently expand to support the
growth rate. In Q4 2017, our corporate team
planned and mapped out an effective path for
facility implementation slated for Q1 2019,"
said Phil Pascoe, president. "This facility is
designed and built to meet the current
and future needs within our market place.

Focus was placed upon ensuring world
of Quadrant Magnetics
class support of design and development,
engineering support, quality and logistics."
"Along with the professional support services, we are able to expand our in-house machining capabilities and quick-turn prototype
labs, while still allowing for planned future manufacturing capabilities and volume expansion," said Pascoe.
"Our quality labs have increased 3X allowing us to implement the
latest state of the art testing technology for all variable aspects
within the industry," he noted. "Over and above all industry standard magnetic lab and QC inspection equipment, we now have either upgraded or added the following capabilities: VSM, hard/soft
hysteresis graphing, 3 channel flux meters, XYZ field mapping,
X-ray coating thickness, linear abrasion testing, higher force level
testing equipment and environmental corrosion test chambers."
Founded in 1992, Quadrant designs and manufactures magnetic
materials, assemblies and functional modules serving manufacturers in the automotive, consumer electronics, appliance, security,
sensing, medical, aerospace, military and other industries globally. The company also has a laboratory in San Jose, CA, plus
operations and manufacturing facilities in Hangzhou, China.
The new location is at 12500 Plantside Drive in Louisville, KY
40299.

MGE Innovation Center at University of Wisconsin

Technology center engineers work with Arnold's customers to
develop cutting-edge materials, validate new designs and facilitate a design's innovation from prototype to production. The new
facility and staff are part of Arnold's efforts to strengthen their role
as an industry leader in permanent magnetics, electromagnetics,
and thin metals technologies.
Among Arnold's products is
Recoma 35E, which is one of
the strongest samarium cobalt
magnet in the world. This magnet has enabled major advances in high-performance motors
for the aerospace/defense and
motorsport industries.
The Madison location was
selected in part because of
Arnold's Recoma samarium cobalt
Arnold's strong partnership
magnets
and participation with the University of Wisconsin Electric
Motors and Power Electronics
Consortium (WEMPEC). Arnold also works closely with technical
universities worldwide, including the University of Aalen, the Swiss
Federal Technical institute in Zurich, the University of Nottingham,
and a program for which they sponsored a PhD student at the
University of Birmingham.
