Ulvac delivers magnet equipment for Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. expansion
What happened

Why it matters
The expansion allows Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. to produce high-performance rare earth permanent magnets outside of China. This capacity helps the company meet the January 1, 2027 DFARS deadline, which prohibits U.S. defense contractors from using rare earth magnets sourced from China.
Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. is expanding operations in Pohang, South Korea, with support from the city and based on principal power terms involving Korea Electric Power Corporation.
