Rebuilding the American Rare Earth Supply Chain: Scaling Technology, Talent, and Capital by Jesse Fatula, Factory Engineering Manager Vulcan Elements Abstract Vulcan Elements manufactures sintered permanent neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets in the United States for critical defense and commercial applications. NdFeB magnets convert electricity into motion. They are essential components in almost every advanced machine and electronic device—from AI data centers and semiconductor fabrication equipment to satellites, drones, robotics, electric motors, and virtually all military platforms. Today, China makes 95% of the world’s magnets, the U.S. less than 1. Vulcan’s mission is to build a domestic rare earth magnet supply chain that can propel America into the 21st century and secure our technological future. Vulcan is the world’s only rare earth magnet company that is decoupled from China—down to the material, technology, IP, software, and ownership. Vulcan opened its 21,000 square foot small-scale magnet facility in March 2025 in Durham, NC, and is building the world’s largest magnet plant outside of China, which will be located in Benson, NC. The $1B project will create 1,000 jobs and solve a fundamental challenge for the U.S. Presenter Bio Jesse Fatula is the Factory Engineering Manager at Vulcan Elements. With nearly fifteen years of experience in metals manufacturing, Jesse has built his career around solving hard problems on the plant floor — from equipment installations and process optimization in steel wire manufacturing, to designing and constructing a greenfield high-pressure water atomization process for stainless steel powder production. Before joining Vulcan Elements, Jesse served as Engineering Manager at a copper metal powder producer, where he led projects that grew the facility's primary melting capacity and successfully consolidated two new production lines from another site. Jesse holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering technology from the University of Pittsburgh. Dear Fellow Professional: Please consider this special invitation to attend our regular monthly meeting on Thursday, June 18, 2026 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. Please note that we will be starting early due to the fact that The Mayflower does not have a buffet..
