Magnets power the devices that shape our daily lives — from motor vehicles to turbines to cellphones. But the global magnet supply chain faces vulnerabilities that threaten entire industries.

Niron Magnetics was founded to solve this challenge with our Iron Nitride technology made entirely from abundant, 100% domestically-sourced iron and nitride.
Based in Minneapolis with full-scale production planned for Sartell, MN, we’re building a pathway to high-performing magnetic independence.
