Scoping
Substrate, material, expected gesture and usage constraints are qualified before choosing a format.
Our story
An industrial textile technology engineered in France.
Since 2000, Systemmag has designed, produced and sold discreet, reliable magnetic closure systems that integrate into a wide range of products and equipment.
History & craft
From the idea to a qualified system.
We keep the founding story and tie it to Systemmag know-how: framing the gesture, prototyping on real material, then locking down a textile architecture ready for production.

Architecture
The solution is drawn according to the geometry, the area to equip and the level of hold required.
3
Prototype
A functional mock-up lets you test the sewing, the comfort, the opening and the repeatability.
4
Validation
Settings are made on the real part before freezing the format and the attachment recommendations.
5
Industrialisation
Dimensions, bill of materials, control and industrial transfer are prepared for your production.

The trigger
The trigger. Eric Sitbon, then working in children’s clothing, notices that his son cannot open his overalls in time. Snap buttons, zips and hook-and-loop closures are designed for adult hands. The fastening interface is the weak point of the garment. He starts experimenting with neodymium magnets.

Our values
What defines us
Patented innovation
Every technical advance is protected by international patents. Our intellectual property portfolio is our most valuable asset.
Designed and assembled in France
Design, production and assembly are carried out in France, in our Paris workshop. That proximity ensures quality, responsiveness and traceability.
B2B partnership
We do not sell a finished product, we provide a technology. Every client is a partner we support from design through to production.
Durability
A closure designed to last for the life of the product means fewer repairs, fewer replacements and less waste.
