Magna-Tel began operations in 1959, entered the promotional products industry in 1977, and became an official member of the only not-for-profit trade association in the industry (Promotional Products Association International, PPAI) in the early 1980’s.
Today our supplier firm is recognized as the premiere magnet manufacturer in the country. We are more than just magnets. In 2006 we launched a new division, InPODnito™, selling wraps and skins for most technology based products.

Magna-Tel is located in America’s heartland, in southeast Missouri. Situated near the historic Mississippi River, our centrally located manufacturing plant is perfectly placed to serve distributors nationwide. Additionally, our facility is ISO-compliant and employs the most current state-of-the art printing techniques, both screen and digital printing, to produce our products.
Our mission, simply put, is to provide outstanding service and superior quality printed products at an affordable price. Our goal to successfully assist businesses in the fulfillment of their promotional needs drives all that we do.
Since 1959, we have followed one simple rule developed by Magna-Tel’s founder: We will always be honest, fair, and forthright with our employees, customers, and suppliers.
The high standards and characteristics we seek to achieve in our organization are the same qualities we look for in our valued business partners.
• We can be counted on. Our longevity, reputation, and business practices confirm this.
• We always get the job done. Our service level goals, quality goals, and production standards prove this.
• We take responsibility. Our employees and our processes are built to serve both our internal and external customers.
• We find a better way. Our commitment to continual improvement of all of our processes attests to this.
• We succeed as a team. Our mission statement and our business strategies are ultimately linked to team performance.
