I first reached out to the MAGNET organization very nearly 30 years ago when running another business. We view MAGNET as a partner. We will continue to look to MAGNET to work side-by-side and walk side-by-side on that [automation and artificial intelligence] journey with us.

Address your toughest challenges and biggest opportunities with a manufacturing consulting firm that’s done the same for nearly 500 manufacturers.
As a manufacturing executive, you have a lot on your mind. No or slow revenue growth, automation errors, machine limitations, unpredictable downtime, quality issues, unskilled applicants, turnover, low productivity. You want to stop making reactive decisions and start getting ahead of opportunities.
But it’s tough to find the right partner. You may have worked with consultants who wanted to change the way you do business. Or you realized they had textbook knowledge rather than shop floor experience. Maybe they came in, gave you a report, and then left.
At MAGNET, we solve real problems from the shop floor to the board room every day, and we do it while supporting your priorities, strategy, and values.
Experience for yourself the success a not-for-profit manufacturing consulting firm can bring to the company you’ve built.
Working with MAGNET has been a game-changer. Everyone we have interacted with is a true expert in their field. This gives us the opportunity to work with specialists that really understand our business. I love the fact that MAGNET only deals with manufacturers. They understand the unique challenges manufacturers face.
- Laurie Hull, Vice President, Benko Products, Inc.
