Magnetic Analysis Corporation
is celebrating 85th anniversary
Congratulations
Magnetic Analysis Corporation, a
leader in nondestructive testing, is
celebrating 85 years of designing
and supplying innovative inspec-
tion instruments and systems for
metal manufacturers throughout
the world.
Founded in 1928 in Long Island
City, NY at a time when testing
for quality purposes usually meant
laboratory “sampling” techniques
which essentially destroyed or al-
tered part of the product being
tested, MAC began working with
electromagnetic techniques to
“nondestructively” test steel bars
without altering the product. Af-
ter six years of development work,
MAC introduced the first successful
bartester to identify cracks in steel
bars in a mill in 1934. Since then,
the company has set the standard
for innovative NDT technology for
metal bar, tube and parts, with
rotary eddy current testers, phase
gating, pulsed eddy current, polar
presentation, fully digitized test
instrumentation, vivid color pres-
entations, rotary ultrasonic testers,
advanced flux leakage inspection
and much more.
“With the increasingly demanding
specifications that our customers
must meet, MAC has developed test
systems to meet the stringent re-
quirements of API, ASTM, EN, DIN
and other standards organizations,
allowing manufacturers to improve
their quality and ship more prod-
ucts, be they oil country tubular
goods, nuclear heat exchanger tub-
ing, bar for the automotive indus-
try, wire for medical use, or other
critical applications”, says MAC
President and CEO Joseph Vitulli.
“Serving the world’s metalworking
industry with reliable, cost effec-
tive, top-of-the-line instrumen-
tation and test systems to ensure
they can meet the high quality
requirements of their customers,
is our 24/7 goal”, says Compa-
ny Chairman, William Gould 3rd
whose father and grandfather were
the original founders. “But the re-
al key to our survival and growth
has been innovative MAC peo-
ple, over several generations, who
have understood the challenge to
make product that truly serves the
world’s needs - product that works
reliably, is economic to make, and
practical to use. MAC people’s en-
ergy and imagination continues to
enable us to serve a very diverse
and challenging world”.
MAC’s primary research and de-
velopment, production, and cor-
porate headquarters, are located
in Elmsford, New York, USA, with
additional manufacturing and lab-
oratory test facilities in Boardman,
Ohio. MAC’s subsidiary, Magnetic
Analysis Nordic, which has just re-
cently expanded into a new larger
building in Östersund, Sweden to
better serve the European market,
provides research and development
as well as manufacturing capabil-
ities. An extensive staff of Field
Engineers and experienced Rep-
resentatives provide support and
installation services for customers
in Europe, North and South Amer-
ica, Eastern Europe, Russia, India,
China, Southeast Asia and South
Korea.
Additional MAC subsidiaries are
located in the UK, Italy and Aus-
tralia, along with a Representative
office in China.
