About Magnetic Shields USA
World-class magnetic shield manufacturing
Magnetic Shields USA is the North American subsidiary of Magnetic Shields Limited (MSL), United Kingdom—a globally recognized leader in the design and manufacture of custom magnetic shielding solutions.
Magnetic Shields USA delivers MuRoom® magnetically shielded rooms (MSRs) which are engineered for applications where ambient magnetic noise directly limits performance. These ultra-low-field environments are commissioned to nanoTesla and picoTesla field stability and gradient requirements for OPM-MEG brain imaging, magnetoencephalography (MEG), biomagnetic research, quantum sensing, and fundamental physics.
In addition to magnetically shielded rooms, Magnetic Shields USA supplies custom magnetic shielding solutions for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. The portfolio includes zero gauss chambers and hybrid active/passive calibration systems such as the GA4, alongside MuMetal® shielding cans and custom assemblies for semiconductor equipment, electron microscopy, vacuum systems, quantum hardware, precision instrumentation, and power electronics.
Solutions are engineered for both room-temperature and cryogenic environments, supported by in-house fabrication and hydrogen annealing processes to ensure consistent, high-performance magnetic shielding.
Our U.S. presence is dedicated to delivering localized support, seamless service, and faster response times to our growing U.S. client base, while enabling scalable growth across key industries in the American market.
About Magnetic Shields Limited – United Kingdom
Integrated Capabilities Through Magnetic Shields USA
With over 65 years of experience, Magnetic Shields Limited specializes in engineering and manufacturing bespoke magnetic shielding systems using high-permeability materials such as MuMETAL®. Our solutions are designed to meet the most demanding requirements in high-tech and research environments and are trusted across sectors including medical research, aerospace, chip lithography, quantum computing, high-end audio, and precision electronics.
A key area of expertise is the design, fabrication, and installation of fully commissioned magnetically shielded rooms (MSRs). These controlled environments are essential for applications requiring ultra-low magnetic fields and electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression—such as magnetoencephalography (MEG), biomagnetic research, low-field MRI, quantum sensors, and calibration facilities.
All our MSRs are engineered using advanced shielding techniques and premium materials like MuMETAL®, offering multi-layer configurations, integrated active magnetic field cancellation systems, and complete turnkey installation to meet project-specific performance requirements.
Our U.S. presence is dedicated to delivering localized support, seamless service, and faster response times to our growing U.S. client base, while enabling scalable growth across key industries in the American market.
End-to-End Magnetic Shielding Capabilities
from concept to completion
Our comprehensive in-house processes—including custom design, precision fabrication, proprietary heat treatment, and rigorous quality control—enable us to deliver consistent, high-performance magnetic shielding products. All manufacturing is conducted at our advanced facility in Staplehurst, Kent, UK, ensuring full integration of engineering, testing, and production workflows.
With a strong and growing customer base across the UK, Europe, USA, and Asia, MSL brings global expertise and technical innovation to every project—delivered locally through Magnetic Shields USA.
Strategic U.S. Manufacturing Partnership
To further support our North American operations, we work closely with our U.S.-based manufacturing partner, Magnetic Shields Corporation (MSC). Their expertise complements our in-house capabilities and enhances local supply for our North American clients.
Through this partnership, MSC supports us with the supply of MuMETAL® sheet and foil, stock zero gauss chambers, prototypes, and low-volume manufacturing. This collaboration strengthens our ability to serve U.S. customers quickly and efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of material quality and technical precision.
