    The Guide to Magnet Procurement for Purchasing Managers

    Purchasing

    As a purchasing manager, it is your key responsibility to select the highest quality products best suited to your application. This includes products that are safe, reliable, and also efficient. In addition, another key responsibility is to be as cost effective as possible. In order to achieve this, it is important that you have a comprehensive understanding and knowledge base surrounding the businesses’ overall goals.

    If you’re looking to source bespoke, custom made magnets to suit your application, you can be assured that Goudsmit UK is your ideal manufacturing partner.

In addition to turnkey manufacturing solutions, we provide responsiveness, convenience and peace of mind to our customers.

    Focus on the details

    It’s important to focus on the finer details when sourcing magnets and magnetic assemblies, particularly what function the magnet will serve. However, there is a lot more to magnet procurement than its initial intended use. Other considerations include:

    • Will the magnet be in direct contact with metal or another magnet?
    • What temperature will the magnet be stored?
    • What quantity of magnets are needed?
    • Will the magnet be used in a horizontal or vertical application?
    • What shape of magnet best suits the application?
    • What size magnet do we need (thickness; width; length)?
    • Does the magnet require a specific type of coating?
    • Does the magnet require a magnetic assembly?

    Being able to answer the above questions leave you in a better position to best determine which type of magnet will best serve it’s intended purpose, whatever the application. Should you have a special requirement, our team of design engineers at Goudsmit UK will be happy to create a custom solution.
