Companies to Focus on Metal Detectors for Forestry Industry

Highland, MI (November 15, 2011) - Magnetic Products, Inc. (MPI), a worldwide provider of both magnetic and non-magnetic material handling solutions, is pleased to announce its partnership with Tectronix Systems, Inc.

MPI, via its association with Tectronix, will manufacture, market and sell a complete line of next-generation Metal Detectors for the forestry industry. Both companies are partners with Cassel, a global leader in metal detection. Cassel metal detectors feature "Four-Quadrant" technology, a technological innovation that allows Cassel equipment to readily adjust settings and effectively sense metals.

Through its 15 years of hands-on experience in the forestry industry, Tectronix has developed metal detection systems on the Cassel base metal detector that consistently meet the needs and challenges of sawmills, engineered wood facilities and pulp and paper factories worldwide.

"The collaboration between two strong partners means a win-win situation for both Tectronix and Magnetic Products, and, most importantly, our customers," says Keith Rhodes, president, MPI.
