REalloys Inc. (ALOY) is operating a rare earth processing facility in Euclid, Ohio that converts heavy rare earth materials into high-performance magnets and alloys for the U.S. Department of Defense and advanced industrial applications. As U.S. sourcing rules tighten, REalloys is already delivering qualified materials under DoD contracts, positioning itself as a key player in America's domestic rare earth supply chain.

Why it matters

Access to rare earths has become a central challenge for advanced defense systems, high-performance manufacturing, and next-generation energy technologies. REalloys addresses the offshore refining bottleneck that has long left U.S. supply chains exposed to foreign supply disruptions by keeping rare earth processing onshore.

The details

REalloys' Euclid, Ohio facility takes separated rare earth oxides and reduces them into metal under controlled atmospheric conditions, then alloys the resulting material into compositions suitable for magnet production. The company holds a deal with the Saskatchewan Research Council to access 80% of the output from its Rare Earth Processing Facility in Saskatoon, which is on track to come online in early 2027 and make REalloys the sole commercial-scale North American source of dysprosium and terbium oxides.

  • REalloys is investing US$21 million to boost heavy rare earth processing throughput by approximately 300% and lift light rare earth (NdPr) capacity by 50% by early 2027.
  • Initial production from the expanded Saskatchewan facility is expected in early 2027.

What’s next

Initial production from the expanded Saskatchewan facility is expected in early 2027, which will make REalloys the sole commercial-scale North American source of dysprosium and terbium oxides.

The takeaway

By operating a functioning rare earth processing facility in the U.S. and securing access to heavy rare earth feedstock, REalloys is helping to rebuild America's critical rare earth supply chain and reduce reliance on foreign sources, particularly China.
