About NVE Corporation
About NVE Corporation
NVE Corporation manufactures spintronic sensors, couplers and MRAM memory devices, relying on several large customers, including Abbott Laboratories, distributors and private-brand partners, for a significant percentage of revenue as of its March 31, 2026 fiscal year end. The Minnesota-based company, founded in 1989, has been awarded more than $50 million in government research contracts since inception and employed 42 people, 40 of them full-time, as of fiscal year end.
NVE earns revenue from three product lines: magnetic sensors used in factory automation, robotics and implantable medical devices; couplers that electrically isolate and transmit data between electronic subsystems in power conversion and industrial networking applications; and low-bit-density MRAM aimed at military, industrial and antitamper markets. The company operates its own front-end wafer fabrication and back-end testing facility, which it considers an advantage over competitors that outsource manufacturing, though most of its device packaging services take place in Asia. NVE sells through distributors including America II Electronics, Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power, and Digi-Key, supplemented by private-brand partnerships with large integrated device manufacturers.

NVE announced on June 22, 2026 that President and CEO Daniel A. Baker will retire effective at the August 6, 2026 annual meeting, to be succeeded by Peter Eames, the company's Vice President of Advanced Technology since 2016, with Baker remaining as Board chairman pending shareholder approval. The leadership change comes as the company continues to disclose reliance on several large customers, including Abbott Laboratories, for a significant percentage of revenue, a concentration the 10-K says could materially harm results if one or more of these customers were lost.
