Alnico magnets exhibit exceptional temperature stability compared to many other magnetic materials. In high-output guitar amplifiers and professional audio systems, heat buildup can alter magnetic performance.

Alnico maintains stable magnetic properties across elevated temperatures, helping preserve tonal consistency during demanding performances or prolonged studio sessions.

That’s the power of Alnico. Read more about how Thomas & Skinner’s Alnico magnets can elevate your sound: https://bit.ly/4w1mi7z.

Happy Employee Ownership Month!

Every role at Thomas & Skinner matters. The machinist on the floor. The person answering the phone. The quality inspector checking every part. The team member in the office keeping things running. No job here is small; every position makes this company what it is.

As a 100% employee-owned company, that's not just a nice sentiment. It's built into how we work. When you own a piece of the company, you show up differently, and that shows up in everything we do.

To every person on our team, in every role: thank you for making Thomas & Skinner what it is.

The performance of a Hall-Effect Thruster (HET) is critically dependent on the strength and stability of its magnetic field. This is where high-quality permanent magnets play a crucial role.

Thomas & Skinner is a leading manufacturer of permanent magnets, which contribute significantly to optimizing the performance of these advanced propulsion systems.

Rare earth supply chain resilience is a matter of national defense, energy security, and technological leadership.

Even the "known" rare-earth supply chain is shifting. Recent USGS data revisions cut Brazil's reserves nearly in half from 21 million to 11 million metric tons while India's estimate was removed entirely.

That's not a rounding error. It's a sign that reserve data is a moving target, adding real uncertainty on top of the concentration risk posed by China's dominant position in rare earth reserves and production.

The result: export restrictions, price volatility, and procurement uncertainty that make long-term planning challenging, especially for defense and advanced manufacturing.
