The Magnalign Story

It all begins with an idea.

For decades, the signage and event industries have grappled with the same persistent challenges: time-consuming installations, costly labor, and difficult-to-execute precision for 3D signage and illuminated logos. Enter Magnalign—an innovative solution born out of real-world experience and a relentless drive to improve how signage professionals approach their craft.

Magnalign began with a simple yet transformative idea: leverage the power of magnets to streamline and perfect the installation process for 3D signage. This idea became a reality thanks to the ingenuity and dedication of our team, which brought together decades of experience in engineering, experiential marketing and event production. Our solution-focused mindset, honed through managing high-profile projects for major brands, led to the development of Magnalign's patented system of magnetic standoffs.

A Game-Changer in Signage Installation

The Magnalign product line includes four innovative solutions—PowerConnectSEGConnectAnchor SEGConnect, and Magnalign Cleat—designed to revolutionize signage installation for both temporary events and permanent applications.

  • PowerConnect: Brings power seamlessly through the magnetic connection for illuminated 3D logos, eliminating visible wiring and ensuring a clean, professional look.

  • SEGConnect: Simplifies the installation of non-illuminated 3D signage over Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG), preserving the fabric's integrity and reducing on-site labor.

  • Anchor SEGConnect: Adds enhanced stability and allows illuminated signage to be securely installed over SEG, combining power with precision.

  • Magnalign Cleat: Provides a versatile mounting solution for both hard walls and SEG graphics, supporting larger, heavier elements, including illuminated signage.

Each product integrates seamlessly with existing signage workflows, delivering time savings, cost reductions, and flawless results that set new industry standards.

Proven Success Across Projects

Magnalign's capabilities have been validated by marquee projects across the signage and event industries:

  • Canon Medical @ RSNA (2019): The first project to use PowerConnect, praised for simplifying one of the most time-consuming processes on the show floor.

  • AT&T Pebble Beach Golf Tournament (2020): SEGConnect demonstrated its value by drastically reducing labor and ensuring pristine graphics.

  • Magna @ CES (2021): Anchor SEGConnect brought stability and elegance to illuminated 3D signage installations over SEG graphics.

  • Edwards Lifesciences @ TCT (2022): The Magnalign Cleat proved its worth in securely mounting heavier elements for a clean and professional finish.

The response from clients has been overwhelmingly positive, with testimonials calling Magnalign "game-changing," "the holy grail," and "a brilliant solution" that has redefined signage installations.

The Journey to Innovation

Developing and patenting Magnalign’s products was no small feat. We worked closely with a patent attorney to refine the invention and secure intellectual property rights. While the three-and-a-half-year wait for the patent was challenging, the approval process was seamless—requiring no rewrites or modifications. Today, Magnalign stands as a patented innovation, recognized for its transformative impact.

A Vision for the Future

Magnalign is currently focused on temporary event markets, but its applications extend far beyond. The film and TV industries, with their need for rapid set construction, and the permanent interior signage market both represent significant opportunities for growth. Wherever precision, efficiency, and clean installations are required, Magnalign has the potential to lead.

Our passion for innovation, combined with a commitment to solving real-world challenges, drives Magnalign’s vision for the future: to empower signage professionals with tools that save time, reduce costs, and elevate the quality of their work. It’s not just about solving problems—it’s about creating opportunities to exceed expectations.
