Sae Magnetics

SAE Magnetics was founded and headquartered in Hong Kong since 1980 by visionary industrialists. The company has evolved to become one of the world's leading independent manufacturer magnetic recording heads for hard disk drives with more than employees. SAE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation in 1986. With its global technology teams in areas covering every aspects of magnetic recording heads including magnetic materials, magnetic multi-layer and head structures, wafer fabrication and ultra-precision manufacturing technologies, SAE is committed to deliver state-of-the-art magnetic recording technologies to the disk drives industries. The manufacturing of SAE begins from wafer fabrication that fabricates magnetic recording heads with magnetic multi-layer structures in nanometer regime. While the wafer fabrication of SAE takes place mainly in Japan and the United States, the bulk of it’s manufacturing in which wafers of magnetic recording heads are assembled into head sub-assemblies, namely Head Gimbal Assembly (HGA) and Head Stack Assembly (HSA), are based in two modern facilities located in Dongguan, PRC. The Company holds significant numbers of patents related to magnetic heads and other electronic components. Engineers throughout the company pursue advanced projects and work with our R&D Engineering Centers, Research laboratories and global teams to translate hands-on experience into new technologies.
