Welcome to Prem Magnetics. We are trusted transformer manufacturers and coil winders based in Johnsburg, Illinois.
The History of Prem Magnetics
Prem Magnetics was founded in 1972 by W.T. Peterson and Frank Prem, as a division of Prem Enterprises, a machine shop.
Mr. Peterson and Mr. Prem recognized that other products in the industry lacked quality, and decided to make coils and transformers to the highest standards.
As the business grew rapidly, Mr. Peterson needed additional help with the operations. In 1978, Roger Liston was hired as General Manager. Mr. Liston came to Prem after holding executive roles at several large coil manufacturers, but his entrepreneurial spirit made him want to strike out on his own.
In 1979, Prem Magnetics became a separate Illinois corporation owned by Mr. Liston and Mr. Peterson. After several more years of success, Mr. Peterson retired in 1984, and Mr. Liston became President of the company.
After a fulfilling career, Mr. Liston retired in 1994, and his two sons took over the business. They continued to expand the company’s transformer manufacturing capabilities until their retirement in 2010. Today, the company is in its third generation of family stewardship.
