In this upcoming webinar hosted by GlobalSpec, Aaron Williams offers valuable insight into the rapidly changing magnet supply chain as demand grows and market opportunities diversify beyond China. This presentation examines how North America’s magnet supply chain is evolving and what the next 5 years are likely to bring.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore how the industry is undergoing a structural shift to establish a “mine-to-magnet” supply chain independent of China, driven by national security priorities rather than just market cycles.
- Understand that unlike previous efforts that focused primarily on mining, there is now a critical focus on developing mid-stream processing capabilities—specifically converting raw materials into oxides and metals.
- Realize that while Neodymium (NdFeB) is vital for electric vehicles, other technologies like Ferrite (the highest volume market) and Samarium Cobalt (critical for aerospace and defense) are equally essential to the global ecosystem.
- See how the sector has moved from being funded largely by private equity to receiving significant government support and ownership stakes to secure domestic production.
- Learn that manufacturing magnets is a highly engineered, difficult process; successful companies will be those that are vertically integrated or have strong strategic partnerships to manage complex technical and economic demands.
