Company Profile![]() |
|
| We are a medium size manufacturer of transformers, inductors, filters and related assemblies. Our headquarters facility is located in Burnsville, MN and our engineering/manufacturing facility is in Marshall, MN. We also manufacture products in Mexico and China. BH customers are located in North America, Europe and Asia. Our product focus is on high frequency devices, within the range of 20KHz to 1GHz. When needed, we can supply low frequency products for those customers who want one source for their magnetic needs. BH management and employees are committed to the team concept of total quality. Our U.S. manufacturing workforce, in Marshall, Minnesota, is organized into about 10 production teams. This is also an ISO 9001:2000 certified facility. Traditional quality assurance methods are supplemented by statistical analysis and a formal system of tracking process quality trends. A formal system of defect analysis and corrective action is in use. All employees are dedicated to the concept of continuous improvement. |
BH Electronics offers comprehensive engineering design support. Our design engineers have extensive experience in magnetics design. They are supported by a complete prototype/sample laboratory and a pilot manufacturing team where new designs can be production tested before they are released. Sample shipments include drawings and test reports. Engineering works closely with manufacturing operations and is also the primary technical contact point for our customers. Sales, marketing, accounting and administration functions are located at the corporate headquarters in Burnsville, MN (a Minneapolis suburb). The headquarters and factory are connected through a wide area network. This configuration supports a complete MRP system with interactive order entry and planning, automatic "buy advice" generation and paperless purchasing. All engineering drawings, part routings and bill of material records are also maintained in this system through networking to the engineering CAD system. We believe that BH Electronics offers a unique capability in the design and manufacture of high frequency magnetic components and assemblies. Thank you for this opportunity to explain our products and capabilities. Should you desire any further information, please feel free to contact us. |

History |
|
| BH Electronics was started in 1967 in Clear Lake, Wisconsin as a manufacturer of transformers and small specialty magnetics. The name was taken from the "BH curve" that plots Gauss vs. Oerstads to describe the hysteresis loop common to magnetic design. In 1970 BH Electronics was purchased by Buckbee-Mears Company (now BMC Industries). In the mid 1970's BH entered the video depth sounders market for the sport fishing industry. |
However, the primary focus of the company remained with the magnetics product line and the depth sounder products have been discontinued. In 1985 the BH Magnetics Division was purchased from BMC by two key managers. They owned and managed the business until it was sold to present management, in 1993. |
