History

Coercive Systems Limited was established more than 30 years ago as a specialised servo component and systems company designing and manufacturing bespoke motor and drive products. The company exploited the very latest developments in magnetic materials such as the new rare earth magnet materials and magnetic alloys, from its manufacturing base in the United Kingdom .

The Company’s name is derived from the terminology given to the force that the magnet can withstand without demagnetising: “Coercive Force” (from the B-H curve) and the high Coercivity of the rare earth materials utilised in its product designs.

The business soon gained strong positions in specific markets particularly Electro Optics, Marine and Defence with its ability to develop bespoke optimised solutions for demanding applications in realistic timescales. Winning prestigious programmes with some of the world’s leading companies enabled it to build strong foundations.

As the business grew new products and technologies were added, broadening the breadth of the markets served and depth of the product lines, capitalising on its market knowledge and synergies in products. Cryogenic Cooling Engines became a major addition to the business with licensing and marketing agreements leading to Manufacturing and Distribution of Cooling Engines for Industrial, Scientific, Aerospace, Security and Defence applications . Covering High Vacuum Processes ,Optical equipment and sensors in infra red cameras, and analytical instrumentation such as spectrometers.

To add additional capability to the existing design and manufacturing facilities, in 2021 a Machining Centre was established, located nearby and equipped with CNC and manual machines to cover Rapid Prototyping , Production and Processes .

Coercive continues to invest and develop its products, capabilities and business and looks forward to the next 30 years serving its customers with the best technology solutions in its chosen areas of expertise and delivering exceptional customer services.
