ABOUT MAGNATECH ENGINEERING

Magnatech Engineering, Inc. was established in 1987 to provide equipment to the recycling industries, primarily the ferrous and nonferrous scrap industries.

After the first few years, Magnatech had outgrown any manufacturing facilities available to it and a plant/office was opened in September, 1989 in Tonganoxie, Kansas, just west of the Kansas City, Kansas industrial zone.

Since its beginning, Magnatech has shown steady growth. Its success is due in large part to the fact that the company is continually looking into the future for new designs, concepts and products. Due to our complete production and engineering facilities, our products are superior in design and performance while our prices remain the most competitive in the industry.

Magnatech’s customers are our most important asset and we work hard to give them the service and satisfaction they deserve.
