Beginning January 1, 2027, the U.S. Department of Defense will enforce DFARS 252.225-7052, Restriction on the Acquisition of Certain Magnets, Tantalum, and Tungsten (May 2024). This rule prohibits the DoD and its contractors from delivering samarium-cobalt (SmCo) or neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets that are mined, refined, melted, or produced in China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. The Samarium Magnet Company supports both regulated (DFARS-covered) and commercial clients with magnets that are produced entirely outside restricted jurisdictions. We help defense primes, Tier-1 suppliers, and commercial OEMs transition early—mapping 2027-ready sourcing plans, certifying DFARS compliance, and maintaining uninterrupted delivery for critical programs.
The Samarium Magnet Company is the world's top magnet producer specializing in Samarium Cobalt magnets (SmCo) and high-temperature Neodymium magnets (NdFeB). With secured reserves of light and heavy rare earth materials outside China, we ensure a reliable and unrestricted supply chain amidst global export controls. Our production facilities deliver custom rare earth magnets with tolerances as tight as ±0.00007874 inches or ±0.0002 cm and temperature ratings exceeding 350°C, suitable for nuclear systems, propulsion, radar, robotics, and precision sensors. We manufacture to order with lead times as short as 12 days, ship worldwide, and have no minimum order limits.
The Samarium Magnet Company provides precision, speed, and supply security that global industries can depend on - no export license required for any order.
Our production is fully independent of Chinese export licensing, giving you a secure and predictable supply chain. While many suppliers are delayed by new export control approvals, our Gulf-based facilities operate freely and can begin manufacturing immediately. With no hassle of filling and waiting for export licenses — your magnets move straight from production to delivery.
As global restrictions tighten on rare earth exports, The Samarium Magnet Company provides a trusted alternative for engineers, manufacturers, and defense contractors seeking a reliable source of high-performance magnets. Our rare earth oxides are from secured reserves outside China, including dedicated Gulf-region and African partnerships. This foundation allows for full traceability, strict quality control, and uninterrupted supply stability amid tightening global export restrictions.
All rare earth magnet production is managed from our Saudi Arabian manufacturing facility, supported by international logistics that deliver anywhere in the world. Whether you’re in the U.S., Europe, or Asia, our delivery system ensures your magnets arrive safely, quickly, and on schedule. Each magnet undergoes precise dimensional and performance testing in our in-house metrology lab, certifying every batch for magnetic flux, coercivity, and environmental durability before shipment.
We are a vertically integrated magnet manufacturer with our main factory and headquarters in Saudi Arabia, complemented by a sales office in Boston that serves samarium cobalt magnets to the United States, Canada, and other North American and Anglo-European market customers.
Many American companies were caught off guard by recent rare earth export restrictions, as numerous U.S. magnet factories and processing facilities were dismantled or paused over the past two decades due to China’s heavily subsidized competition. This is why most magnet orders today face 90+ day lead times and uncertain delivery confirmations — because nearly all sourcing still originates from China.
By contrast, The Samarium Magnet Company delivers a fast, compliant, and independent alternative — magnets manufactured outside China, produced to spec within 12 days, and shipped directly from our Gulf-based facility to clients worldwide. Our Saudi Arabian location also provides an additional strategic advantage: significantly lower import duties compared to shipments originating from China or other jurisdictions. For U.S. buyers, this translates into reduced landed costs, faster customs clearance, and a smoother procurement process — making our magnets not only faster to deliver but also more cost-efficient and compliant by design.
