    USA Rare Earth Breaks Ground on $1.2B South Carolina Magnet Plant

    Question

    USA Rare Earth Breaks Ground on $1.2B South Carolina Magnet Plant

    Direct answer

    USA Rare Earth has initiated groundbreaking on a $1.2 billion manufacturing complex in South Carolina. The facility is engineered to yield 10,000 metric tons annually of rare-earth permanent magnets and strip-cast metal by 2029. The facility addresses critical bottlenecks in domestic electric vehicle motor, wind turbine generator, and defense aerospace component supply chains currently dependent on overseas processing.
