Niron Magnetics Reach Commercial Scale

Niron Magnetics, a Minnesota startup, has launched their rare earth-free permanent magnets to commercial scale. The company’s goal is to liberate wind turbines from their existing dependency on Chinese raw materials.

Niron’s clean earth magnets rely on proprietary manufacturing processes, nanomaterials, and metallurgical methods to achieve stability and performance. 

“With the official opening of our commercial pilot plant, we’ve taken a significant step towards establishing a reliable, domestic supply of high-performance magnets critical for US national security, while launching the next generation of clean energy technologies and sustainable manufacturing,” said CEO Jonathan Rowntree.

High performance applications, like wind turbines, have traditionally relied on rare earth materials, like neodymium. Unfortunately, the mining, extraction, and manufacturing processes for these materials are labor intensive and environmentally damaging. Niron Magnetics’ solutions remove this reliance, building a more robust solution without compromising performance.
