OUR FIRST MANUFACTURING PLANT


Research Triangle Park (RTP): Innovation Hub

Research Triangle Park facility

Nexus of advanced magnetics development and initial commercial production

Vulcan’s first commercial manufacturing plant and hub for research and development. Commissioned in March 2025, on time and on budget, RTP serves as Vulcan’s center for initial commercial manufacturing, materials science research, and process development. Every part of the process—and every piece of equipment—is scalable, designed to enable rapid expansion to industrial production. Since 2024, out of RTP, Vulcan has worked with customers across robotics, AI infrastructure, semiconductor fabrication, drones, and automobiles—as well as every branch of the U.S. military.
