Magnetic Engines Marks 10 Years of Standards, Stamina, and Solved Problems

When Magnetic Engines opened its doors on October 5, 2015, the workshop measured just 100 square meters. There was no ribbon-cutting, only benches, tools, and a conviction that standards had to come before scale.

Ten years later, that conviction has driven the business to a 1,300 sqm facility, more than 319 client engagement events, and 67 customers served by early 2025 – with the same philosophy still at its core.

“We didn’t chase scale – we chased standards,” said Risto Mäeots, CEO of Magnetic Group. 

“From the very beginning, Magnetic Engines built its reputation on precision and predictability. Growth was the consequence, not the goal.”

From Quiet Start to Core Capability

The team’s first client inspections took place just days after launch – two CFM56-7B engines in Ponta Delgada, Portugal – proving that Magnetic Engines’ processes could travel as well as its people.

Through 2016, the shop deliberately focused on its own engines, refining procedures before opening to external clients in 2017. 

By 2020, heavier repairs and combustion chamber replacements were routine; by 2023, the first Core Performance Restoration (CFM56-3) validated the team’s control over the most complex modules.

“Every milestone came from the same loop – learn, validate, scale,” explained Filip Stanisic, Managing Director of Magnetic Engines. 

“Our first heavy repair in 2020 proved we could deliver under pressure. Later, DAC→SAC conversion work in 2024 showed we weren’t just adding volume – we were adding depth.”

Growth Without Drift

The journey from 100 sqm to 1,300 sqm wasn’t about expansion for its own sake. Each addition of space followed proof that quality held steady while volume increased; a principle that remains non-negotiable.

Inside the shop, what looks “boring” from the outside – torque verification, parts discipline, post-event reviews – is what customers rely on most. Predictability lowers operational stress, and reliability protects fleet uptime.

“Engines don’t care about excuses. Customers don’t either,” Stanisic added. “That’s why prevention is our quiet advantage, we obsess over failure modes before they ever show up on the floor.”

A Decade Defined by Discipline

Today, Magnetic Engines stands as proof that consistency compounds. From a small room in Tallinn’s GSE area to a trusted capability serving airlines worldwide, the team continues to grow by protecting one metric: quality at release.

“Ten years in, the ambition hasn’t changed,” said Mäeots. 

“Keep aircraft flying, keep quality flat, and keep earning trust – one release at a time.”
