Defense applications
Virtually all defense capabilities, from satellites and submarines to aircraft, munitions, and ground vehicles, require rare earth magnets in order to withstand extreme temperatures and rapidly deliver payload.
Magnets Convert Electricity Into Motion.
CAPABILITY
Manufacturing Rare Earth Magnets for the Technologies That Will Define the 21st Century
Ensuring economic resilience. Protecting national security.
Across the full manufacturing process, Vulcan deploys materials science, engineering, and manufacturing innovations that enable secure, resilient domestic production.
EXPANSION
Building the physical foundation of the industrial future
We’re executing at a speed and scale not seen in the United States this century. Vulcan is building the largest rare earth magnet facility in the Western World—located in Benson, North Carolina—while also actively producing high-performance magnets out of our Research Triangle Park manufacturing plant.

MISSION
Ethos of independence
The United States and its allies need a magnet supply chain that is secure, resilient, and that performs under pressure. Vulcan Elements holds the same standard: our team has chosen the harder path, by taking on a challenge unsolved and building a capability fundamental to the United States and the world. The world can’t afford for us to settle for anything less.
Our values
Rebuilding a secure, resilient rare earth magnet supply chain, and enabling the next era of economic growth and national security for the United States and its allies.
