Euromag,
magnetic solutions
for 150 years

Located in Saint-Pierre d’Allevard, Euromag is established on a site with a long industrial history in iron mining, the production of special steel and the manufacture of permanent magnets. Our SME of 45 people is in charge of the continuity of the manufacture of these magnets, initiated more than 150 years ago.

« As a specialist in permanent magnets and applications, Euromag has the expertise to provide quality products with high performance and in accordance with the requirements of these customers » – Nicolas DUBOIS, General Manager.

A long time experience

Originally made of simple steels hardened in the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field, it was in the 1950s that the first modern permanent magnets were developed. Over the years, our site has developed and produced all the families of known magnets, from ALNICO alloys around 1950, Ferrites whose production started around 1970, and finally the last magnetic alloys based on Rare Earths, first in Samarium Cobalt in the 1980s then in Neodymium Iron Boron around 1990

In the heart of your systems

As a specialist in permanent magnets, EUROMAG has the expertise to provide you with high quality products that meet your requirements and high technical performance. Cultivating openness and eclecticism, Euromag’s sustainability is based on a very diversified portfolio of loyal customers in fields ranging from aerospace, aeronautics, military, transport, energy, automotive, sensors, medical, plastics, cosmetics, advertising, billboards and many others.

High-level experience

For Euromag, expertise and performance are our daily priorities.

We offer ALNICO and Ferrites products “made in France”
For nearly 60 years, we have also been manufacturing various assembly solutions, including magnets of all types (polar steel pieces, mechanical fixations…)
Rich in our industrial skills for all magnetic materials, we have developed for nearly 20 years a purchase/resale activity for a complete range of products including Ferrites and Rares Earth magnets (Samarium Cobalt and Neodymium Iron Boron), in sintered or thermoplastic bound form.
Finally, we offer standard assembly components such as pot magnets or magnetic sheets of all types from our catalogue

Our additional services

In addition to being a manufacturer and distributor, thanks to our practical experience, we offer services in the following areas:

For the design, optimization and industrialization of magnetic applications
For the purchase and supply of magnetic functions
For the audit and control of magnetic components or assemblies
For demagnetizing or magnetizing operations
For retouching operations on magnets (uncoated magnets)
For import/export activities and as a European logistics base for just-in-time deliveries.

Our quality policy

Euromag’s ambition is to be a reference technical partner in the field of permanent magnets and magnetic functions. We place great importance in achieving total customer satisfaction by ensuring constant quality and service. Thus we are certified ISO 9001 / 2015.

Our major commitments are :

Listening to our customers to reckon their needs and meet their requirements in order to offer products adapted to the desired function

Maintaining a culture of customer satisfaction

150 years of history

Euromag’s know-how has been acquired over more than 150 years of industrial experience.

1870

In Saint-Pierre d’Allevard, manufacture of martensitic steels from the iron contained in the ore extracted on the site (there are still remnants of this period: roasting oven, inclined plane…)

1902

Establishment of magnet production area in Champ-Sappey (Saint-Pierre d’Allevard).

1932

Discovery by MISHIMA of the Fe2NiAI compound; this new material, although fragile and hard, immediately aroused interest because its magnetic performances were much higher than those of the martensitic steels used to make magnets.

1942

In Grenoble, UGINE created a pilot workshop for the exploitation of NEEL patents on magnets until 1950, manufactured on site by LES FORGES D’ALLEVARD of isotropic magnets (non-oriented).

Development by LES FORGES D’ALLEVARD and UGINE in collaboration with the laboratories of the University of Grenoble and Louis Neel of grades and models that promote an unprecedented expansion of magnet applications in France and abroad.

1957

Establishment in Saint-Pierre-d’Allevard of a workshop for the production of Ferrites, new ceramic materials that shake up techniques.

1962

The magnet factory located in Grenoble and owned by UGINE is transferred to Saint-Pierre-d’Allevard on the current site already occupied by LES FORGES D’ALLEVARD. Creation of the company Allevard-Ugine.
