In our industry, innovation only matters if it makes life easier for the people who actually build, install, and maintain networks in the field. That’s why teaming up with Estech Magnetics isn’t just about adding a product to a portfolio, it’s about fulfilling customer needs in the most practical way.
Decades of Innovation with a Constant View of What’s Next
Anyone who works around towers, rooftops, water towers, or industrial infrastructure is familiar with the challenges of these environments: tight timelines, safety concerns, and complex installations. There is constant pressure to do more with less.
ANDREW is a name the industry has trusted for nearly 90 years to provide solutions that answer the industry’s needs. Our comprehensive portfolio offers faster installation, safer mounting, and consistent performance without compromising structural integrity or long-term reliability. Understanding these requirements from the field is what led us to Estech Magnetics.
Why Estech Magnetics?
Estech isn’t new to solving hard problems. They are widely recognized as a technological leader in high‑strength magnetic bracketing systems, with an impressive track record that includes the development of the world’s largest magnetic bracketing fixture.
What stood out to us wasn’t just the strength of the technology, it was how thoughtfully it was designed for real-world conditions. Estech’s magnetic products deliver powerful, intuitive, and reliable fastening performance, even in the most demanding industrial environments. That means fewer tools, fewer steps, less risk, and more confidence during installation.
In other words: technology that respects the realities of the job site and succeeds across varying network standards, today and into the future.
Bringing Engineering and Experience Together
By combining ANDREW’s decades of structural support and wireless infrastructure expertise with Estech’s advanced magnetic technology, we’re creating something greater than the sum of its parts.
This relationship allows us to provide solutions that:
- Simplify installation methods
- Reduce time spent on site
- Improve overall safety for crews
- Enable greater flexibility in challenging environments
For customers, that translates into reduced risk, improved productivity, and long-term performance they can trust.
Designed for More Than Just Telecom
While telecommunications infrastructure is a natural fit, the value of this collaboration goes far beyond one industry. Estech’s advanced magnetic technology already supports a wide range of applications, including:
- Water tanks and water towers
- Oil and gas facilities
- Wind turbine systems
- Electrical grid installations
- Custom and specialized industrial projects
That breadth matters because our customers don’t operate in silos. Many are managing mixed infrastructure portfolios and need solutions that can adapt just as fast as their projects do.
A Smarter Way Forward—Together
At ANDREW, our focus has always been on providing simple, efficient, and sustainable solutions that move the industry forward.
Our relationship with Estech reinforces that commitment by putting customer needs front and center, from design to deployment.
"At Estech Magnetics, we’ve always focused on harnessing magnetic power to solve real-world installation challenges with practical, high-strength solutions. Engineering a new technology and seeing it perform for 17 years has given us a strong foundation and has reinforced our focus on reducing complexity and improving safety in demanding environments. Collaborating with ANDREW allows us to extend that impact even further by combining our magnetic innovation with their deep expertise in wireless infrastructure to deliver safer, faster, and more efficient installations for customers worldwide,” said Eric Stechmann, CEO, Founder and Engineer of Estech Magnetics.
Estech’s track record of successful magnetic bracket deployments demonstrates our joint focus on customer needs that has allowed us to develop and sustain the trust of the tower workforce. This attention to product quality and the diverse requirements of a discerning customer base is what keeps ANDREW® and Estech at the forefront of the industry.
By working closely with Estech, we’re not just offering innovative magnetic bracketing products, we’re continuing to support critical industries and the people who build & maintain them every day.
And this is just the beginning.
As we continue to collaborate, refine, and innovate together, our goal remains the same: to empower our customers, help solve industry-wide challenges, and deliver solutions that make infrastructure work safer, faster, and more reliable.
