Hartzell Engine Tech Acquires E-MAG, Makers of Electronic Ignitions
'The self-powering, plug-and-play characteristic of the E-MAG design will soon be available for straightforward dual installations in the certified market.'— Hartzell Engine Tech President Keith Bagley
MONTGOMERY, AL, UNITED STATES, May 12, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Hartzell Engine Tech, a Signia Aerospace Company and a trusted manufacturer of components for General Aviation and military markets, has purchased E-MAG, a manufacturer of electronic ignition systems for aircraft.
E-MAG manufactures lightweight electronic ignition systems that offer improved reliability, longer engine life spans, improved starting, smoother idle and partial throttle operations. Lycoming, Continental Titan and Superior Air Parts also offer E-MAG factory options.
Hartzell Engine Tech plans to move E-MAG products toward certification for the General Aviation market. That will create a certified electronic ignition system able to serve as a drop-in replacement that does not require external, backup power or power conditioners for continued operation.
'While our traditional mechanical magnetos will be around for a long time, Hartzell Engine Tech acquired E-MAG to expand its PowerUP Ignition System product portfolio into both the non-certified and certified markets,' said Hartzell Engine Tech President Keith Bagley. 'The self-powering, plug-and-play characteristic of the E-MAG design will soon be available for straightforward dual installations in the certified market as PMA products compatible with conventional aviation harnesses and spark plugs,' he added.
Brad Dement and Tom Carlson, founders and co-owners of E-MAG, will be assisting Hartzell Engine Tech during a transition period. Eventually E-MAG manufacturing and support activities will be relocated from Azle, Texas to Hartzell Engine Tech's main facility in Montgomery, Ala.
'We are excited that E-MAG is joining Hartzell Engine Tech and the Signia family of companies,' said Dement. Carlson added, 'The additional capabilities and resources of Hartzell Engine Tech will accelerate the E-MAG certification process.'

Philadelphia's Teenshop, a college prep and mentorship organization, celebrates 40 years of "Girls with Goals"
Twenty-four years after graduating, the impact of Teenshop still brings Nadia Frazier to tears. "No one understands the power of Teenshop if you utilize it the right way," Frazier says. Now her own daughter, 14-year-old Diana, is a part of the non-profit program that's helped mold thousands of girls from our region for four decades. "I'm usually the shy kid, just me, meeting people who look like me, it made me feel more comfortable," says Diana. "She's doing so much, she's learning so much," her mom added. It's all about exposure for Teenshop members. From college prep, to mentorship, trips, and life skills, it's all because of the work of Elleanor Jean Hendley. "She's amazing, I love her so much," Diana said of Hendley. "She's so persistent in what she does." CBS Philadelphia CBS Philadelphia CBS Philadelphia Hendley worked as a reporter and host at CBS Philadelphia for 25 years. Hendley started Teenshop in 1985 in her free time to give back. "There's just no better feeling than when you see how they blossom and how they grow," Hendley told us. "Forty years later, three chapters, 3,500 alumnae, 100% college acceptance. I'm still amazed by it all," she said. "They not only survive, but they thrive and can really aim high as they're reaching for their dreams." As the organization embarks on the next 40 years, Diana — who plans to become a pediatric nurse — vows to remain part of the sisterhood, with her mom by her side. "I'm so excited for her, I'm so excited for her future, and it starts now," Nadia said. "I just can't put it into words," Diana continued. "I'm very grateful for this opportunity."
