MagDrive Technologies

About Us

We exist to eliminate industrial emissions at the source.
By replacing leak-prone mechanical seals with advanced magnetic actuation, MagDrive delivers zero-emission valve technology that redefines reliability, performance, and sustainability.

Engineered for Zero Emissions

Valve stem leaks account for 60% of all fugitive emissions. MagDrive’s magnetically actuated valves are proven in the harshest conditions to deliver true zero-emission performance. This is the No-E category. This is MagDrive.

Leading the Way in Magnetic Actuation
Valves are the leading cause of fugitive emissions, product loss, and costly EPA fines—responsible for 60% of total emissions, primarily from the valve stem. MagDrive solves this at the source by removing dynamic seals and exposed packing entirely. Our solid-wall chamber design, powered by precision magnetic actuation, delivers a fully sealed stem and eliminates fugitive emissions before they start.

Our Story

MagDrive was founded with a clear mission: to eliminate methane leaks from valves, one of the most significant sources of fugitive emissions worldwide. Recognizing the urgent environmental and regulatory challenges facing industries, we set out to engineer a breakthrough solution—magnetic drive valve technology capable of delivering true zero-emission performance.
