Hartzell Engine Tech has acquired E-MAG, the Texas-based manufacturer of electronic ignition systems for aircraft engines.
E-MAG designs self-powering electronic ignitions compatible with Lycoming, Continental Titan, and Superior Air Parts engines. These systems are known for their lightweight construction and improved engine starting, idle quality, and partial-throttle performance. Several engine manufacturers offer E-MAG ignitions as factory options.
E-MAG Future
Hartzell Engine Tech plans to move E-MAG products toward FAA certification, positioning them as drop-in replacements for magnetos in certified aircraft. The systems will not require backup power or external power conditioners.
E-MAG founders Brad Dement and Tom Carlson will remain involved during the transition. Hartzell plans to relocate E-MAG’s manufacturing and support operations from Azle, Texas, to its headquarters in Montgomery, Alabama.

Sad to hear this. I hope they do a better job of supporting E-Mag customers than the total lack of support for their recent acquisition of Whirlwind products. Buyer be ware!
KitPlanes should know that experimental aircraft are also certified. Hartzell wants to get P-Mags approved for TYPE certified. I don’t see why they would want to use standard mag harnesses or massive plugs, though.
