الانتاج

Vulcan Elements currently produces sintered neodymium magnets.[1][2][3][4] اعتبارا من أكتوبر 2025, its production capacity is around 10 metric tons per year.[5]

تاريخ

Vulcan Elements was founded in 2023 by former U.S. Navy nuclear propulsion lab financial manager John Maslin, alongside electrical engineer Piotr Kulik, with the intention of competing with rare earth magnet manufacturers based in China.[6][1] Maslin was studying at Harvard University when he started the business.[1]

The company opened its first manufacturing facility on March 31, 2025.[7][1] The opening of the plant was attended by academic, political, and military leaders, including Leonardo Williams, Pat Harrigan, Chris Miller, and Nadia Schadlow.[3][7][8]

In August 2025, the company raised $65 million at a $250 million total valuation, with investors including Altimeter Capital, One Investment Management, and 1789 Capital.[6][9][10][11][12] It had also secured orders from the U.S. military.[6][13]
