The US Pentagon's rare earth procurement rules, set to take effect January 1, 2027, aim to restrict the use of Chinese-origin materials in American weapons systems across the entire supply chain. This deadline is approaching with fewer than 75 days remaining, and many companies are still in planning stages. REalloys is presented as a company that is actively preparing for qualification, with its integrated supply chain from feedstock to magnet manufacturing. The company's Euclid, Ohio facility and its partnership with South Korean magnet maker JS Link are key components of its strategy. REalloys has also secured feedstock agreements and is in negotiations with the U.S. Army to build processing facilities on a military base.
