For more than four decades, Magfield has been a trusted name in Australia’s industrial sector, specialising in the design, manufacture and supply of high-quality magnetic equipment. Their tailored solutions have earned them a place as one of the leading magnetic equipment suppliers in Australia and New Zealand.
A Legacy of Innovation and Expertise
Founded in 1979 by Peter Tedesco and Martyn Froy, Magfield Manufacturing was born out of a shared vision. Both founders were seasoned professionals in the magnetic industry, having worked at Eriez Magnetics in Melbourne. When Eriez Magnetics became a fully American-owned subsidiary in 1979, Tedesco and Froy saw an opportunity for an Australian company to take the lead in manufacturing and supplying magnetic equipment locally. Their combined expertise, along with their dedication to supporting Australian industry, laid the foundation for what has now become a respected company with an international reach.
Comprehensive Product Range for Diverse Industries
Magfield’s extensive portfolio caters to various sectors, each with unique needs that require specialised magnetic solutions. Among the industries they serve, the food and plastics sectors stand out for their reliance on plate and grate magnets that help ensure product purity and safety. These innovative and powerful magnetic systems remove ferrous contaminants from production lines. For industries that handle steel products, Magfield offers can-handle magnets used in the elevating and palletising of steel cans, contributing to smooth and efficient manufacturing processes.
In the recycling industry, Magfield plays a vital role with its recycle magnets, which are critical for separating metal from refuse during recycling programs. This not only improves recycling efficiency but also ensures valuable materials are reclaimed for reuse, promoting sustainability.
Magfield also provides separation magnets for quarries, helping to extract ferrous materials from raw aggregates, which improves the quality of the final product and protects processing equipment from wear and tear.
Customised Solutions for Specialised Applications
While Magfield offers a wide range of standard products, the company is known for its ability to design and manufacture custom permanent and electromagnets for specialised applications. Magfield’s engineering team works closely with customers to develop tailored solutions and this flexibility and innovation make them a go-to partner for companies seeking bespoke magnetic equipment.

Peter Tedesco and Martyn Froy’s commitment to producing locally manufactured magnetic equipment has not only filled a critical gap in the market but has also helped Australian companies reduce their reliance on foreign imports.
