Optimized for rapid deployment in high-density residential projects across Auckland.
Exceptional durability for repeated use in Christchurch reconstruction zones.
Cost-effective edge profiling for non-load bearing precast elements.
Heavy-duty steel construction for large-scale infrastructure precasting.
New Zealand's construction landscape is currently undergoing a significant paradigm shift. With the government’s focus on Kāinga Ora housing initiatives and massive infrastructure upgrades in the North and South Islands, the demand for high-quality precast concrete has skyrocketed. In this context, the Magnetic Concrete Chamfer has emerged as a critical component for achieving both speed and aesthetic precision.
In NZ, where labor costs are high and seismic requirements (NZS 3101:2006) are among the strictest in the world, the precast industry is moving toward "Lean Construction." Traditional wood chamfers, which require nailing and cause surface damage to steel beds, are being phased out. Local companies in Auckland, Christchurch, and Tauranga are increasingly adopting magnetic systems to:
Labor Cost Reduction
Reuse Cycles per Strip
Precision Tolerance
Average Pulling Force
Globally, the magnetic concrete chamfer market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% through 2030. The shift toward Modular Construction (PPVC) in Singapore, Europe, and North America has standardized the use of Neodymium (NdFeB) based magnetic tools. As a premier manufacturer, QCM Magnet is at the forefront of this evolution, integrating rare-earth technology with specialized polymers.
Transitioning from toxic resins to recyclable Urethane and high-grade stainless steel to meet LEED and Green Star certification standards.
Moving beyond basic attraction to "Targeted Flux" designs that provide maximum hold at the edge while allowing easy manual release.
Combining CNC-machined steel with embedded magnets for ultra-sharp 45-degree bevels required in architectural fair-faced concrete.
For NZ procurement managers, the decision to source from China-based factories like Qianci Magnet (QCM) is no longer just about price—it's about Technical Information Gain and supply chain reliability.
Being situated near the world's primary source of Neodymium allows us to use N52-grade magnets (the highest commercial grade) at a fraction of the cost of local NZ or Australian distributors.
Our in-house CNC and molding facilities mean we can take a bespoke design for a unique NZ bridge project and provide prototypes within 7 days.
Every magnetic chamfer strip undergoes Gauss testing and pull-force verification, ensuring it meets the safety margins required for heavy industrial use in seismic zones.
QCM Magnet specializes in offering complete magnetic fixing solutions for the production of precast concrete components. Our primary products include Shuttering Magnets, Formwork Magnets, Magnetic Chamfering Strips, and various pre-embedded insert magnets. Utilizing magnetic fixing in precast concrete production prevents damage to the platform, enhances work efficiency, and reduces labor costs.
