The Test of Time:
Magnetic Analysis Corp.
Celebrates 90 Years
Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC), a leader
in nondestructive testing, is celebrating 90 years
of designing and supplying innovative inspection
instruments and systems for metal manufacturers
throughout the world.
Founded in 1928 in Long Island City, NY,
at a time when testing usually meant
“sampling” procedures that destroyed or
altered the product being tested, MAC
developed electromagnetic techniques to
“nondestructively” test steel bars without
modifying the product. In 1934, MAC
introduced the first successful tester to identify
cracks in steel bars in a production mill.
Today, operating on an international scale, MAC
continues to find innovative ways to help tube,
bar, wire, and parts producers meet increasingly
demanding specifications for quality. “Using
our unique ability and experience with multiple
technologies, including eddy current, ultrasonic,
phased array, and flux leakage, we don’t just sell a
product, we sell a solution – a test solution that is
based on the customer’s product, mill configuration,
specifications, applications, budget and other specific
needs” says Dudley Boden, MAC’s President and CEO.
Boden continued by saying that “as we celebrate this
90-year milestone, we are renewing our longstanding
dedication to customer service, while at the same
time focusing on an exciting future for NDT with new
technologies and applications.”
Three facilities form the backbone of the company:
MAC’s ISO 9001-2015 certified manufacturing
and engineering headquarters in Elmsford, NY; a
manufacturing and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 laboratory-
certified plant in Boardman, Ohio; and Magnetic
