When Magnetic Engines opened its doors on October 5, 2015, the workshop measured just 100 square meters. There was no ribbon-cutting, only benches and tools. Ten years later, that conviction has driven the business to a 1,300-sqm facility, more than 319 client engagement events, and 67 customers served by early 2025, with the same philosophy still at its core.
“We didn’t chase scale, we chased standards,“ said Risto Mäeots, CEO of Magnetic Group. “From the very beginning, Magnetic Engines built its reputation on precision and predictability. Growth was the consequence, not the goal.“
The team’s first client inspections took place just days after launch, two CFM56-7B engines in Ponta Delgada, Portugal.Through 2016, the shop focused on its own engines, refining procedures before opening to external clients in 2017.
By 2020, heavier repairs and combustion chamber replacements were routine; by 2023, the first Core Performance Restoration (CFM56-3) validated the team’s control over the most complex modules. “Every milestone came from the same loop — learn, validate, scale,“ explained Filip Stanisic, managing director of Magnetic Engines. “Our first heavy repair in 2020 proved we could deliver under pressure. Later, DAC to SAC conversion work in 2024 showed we weren’t just adding volume — we were adding depth.“
