Magna-Lock USA:
Workholding Made Simple
Magna-Lock USA, founded in 1948 in Michigan, originally operated as Hanchett Magna-Lock, specializing in electromagnetic workholding solutions. Over the years, the brand evolved through several ownerships and name changes, including name changes to Magna-Lock Corporation and Hitachi Magna-Lock, and ownership by Mattison Technologies, Inc., expanding its capabilities and refining its technology to better serve the precision machining and metalworking industries.
​
By the 1990s and 2000s, under ownership by Centro-Metalcut, Inc. and Tri-CAM Inc., Magna-Lock USA became a leader in both electromagnetic and vacuum workholding systems, offering a wide range of custom workholding accessories. Our products, including electromagnetic chucks, vacuum workholding solutions, and chuck control systems, significantly improved manufacturing efficiency, precision, and safety across industries like automotive, aerospace, and robotics.
