NdFeB Alloy Strip Cast / Jet Mill Powder

Chinese sintered NdFeB magnet manufacturer (SZSE: 300748, HK: 6680) headquartered in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province — the center of China's heavy rare earth industry. 25,000 tonnes/year capacity as of 2024 (doubled from 13,000 tonnes in 2022). Specializes in high-performance N54-grade magnets for EV motors rated to +200°C operating temperature. One of China's 'six leading magnet producers'; received early export licenses under April 2025 controls. Primary EV and wind turbine magnet supplier for Chinese and global automotive OEMs.

China's pioneering NdFeB magnet producer (SHEX: 000970); first company to achieve industrialized NdFeB production in China. Headquartered in Ningbo region, Zhejiang Province. ~16.4% global high-performance NdFeB segment market share. 2025 net profit +660% YoY to 91.32 million yuan (revenue 6.641B yuan) — benefited directly from China's April 2025 export licensing controls which constrained competitors' export access while Zhong Ke San Huan retained licenses. Primary supplier to EV manufacturers, wind turbine OEMs, and precision equipment makers.

Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. (Tokyo; TSE: 4063; ~¥2.3 trillion revenue) is Japan's second-largest EUV photoresist supplier, holding approximately 20-25% of the EUV photoresist market through its SEPR (Shin-Etsu Polymer Resist) product line. Primary EUV resist production at Niigata and Gunma facilities in Japan. The same parent company is the world's largest polyvinyl chloride (PVC) producer, the world's largest silicon wafer producer (through Shin-Etsu Silicones/SEH), and a major hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) pharmaceutical excipient manufacturer. Shin-Etsu's photoresist was among the materials covered by Japan's July 2019 export controls targeting South Korea, as fluorinated polyimide — a resist ancillary material — was one of the three restricted chemicals.

National high-tech enterprise backed by China Iron & Steel Research Institute (CISRI). Major producer of NdFeB magnet alloy, rare earth magnetic materials, and specialty alloys. Core supplier to Chinese defense and EV industries.

Chinese magnet manufacturer part of Hengdian Group conglomerate (SHEX: 002127); 15,000-20,000 tonnes/year NdFeB magnet capacity. Direct supplier to Tesla, Brose, Panasonic, Cooper, and Nidec. Also produces ferrite magnets and batteries. Hengdian Group is best known in China for owning Hengdian World Studios — the world's largest film production base — making DMEGC a subsidiary of a Chinese movie studio that also supplies EV magnets to Tesla.

German specialty magnetic materials producer; one of two major non-Asian NdFeB producers at scale. Revenue ~€600M (2024). Operates Hanau plant and Póvoa de Varzim (Portugal) facility. Supplies European automotive (BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen) and wind turbine (Siemens Gamesa, Enercon) applications. VAC is strategically important to EU rare earth independence plans; received EU funding for European magnet supply chain. Private; owned by private equity (Advent International).

Operator of Mountain Pass, California — the only US rare earth mine and the largest rare earth mine outside of China. Produces rare earth concentrate (bastnasite ore) with ~15% of global rare earth ore production. As of 2024, still shipping concentrate to China (Shenghe Resources, a major MP investor) for separation into NdPr oxide. On-site solvent extraction (SX) separation plant being commissioned at Mountain Pass to enable US-based separation. MP Materials also building a rare earth magnet manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Mountain Pass was the world's dominant rare earth mine until Chinese competition drove Molycorp (predecessor) bankrupt in 2015.
