Origin2023
Advanced Technology & Materials (AT&M) was spun out of the China Iron & Steel Research Institute (CISRI) — a Beijing research institution established in 1952 by the central government to support China's industrial development through materials science. CISRI was modeled on Soviet-style research institutes that combined fundamental science with industrial application; it became one of China's premier metallurgical and materials research centers during the planned economy era. In the 1990s, as China transitioned to a market economy, CISRI was directed to commercialize its research by forming subsidiary enterprises — AT&M being one of the most successful, focusing on NdFeB permanent magnet alloys. AT&M benefits from CISRI's ongoing research pipeline, state enterprise preferential access to rare earth raw materials, and contracts with both Chinese defense industries and civilian manufacturers. The company's strip cast alloy technology — a process for producing NdFeB alloy in a form that sintered magnet manufacturers can directly process — is a core technology that serves both Chinese defense procurement (missiles, radar systems, targeting systems) and Chinese EV manufacturers (BYD, SAIC). A Beijing research institute spinoff from the Mao-era planned economy now supplies the magnet alloy that goes into both Chinese military weapons systems and the electric vehicles that China is deploying to decarbonize its transport sector.
