Rochester, NY: Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation (“Arnold”), a leading global manufacturer of ITAR and DFARS compliant high-performance magnets, announces its plan to establish a fully compliant supply chain for Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) and Samarium-Cobalt (SmCo) magnets by mid-2026. This move is in anticipation of the DFARS 252.225-7052 updated standards effective January 1, 2027, which expands regulations on the sourcing of rare earth materials.

As a key supplier to the aerospace and defense industries, Arnold Magnetic Technologies is committed to ensuring that its entire range of NdFeB and SmCo magnets meet the upcoming DFARS requirements. These regulations prohibit the use of materials mined, refined, separated, melted, or produced in covered countries, including North Korea, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, and Iran.

Arnold’s initiative underscores its dedication to providing uninterrupted and compliant supplies to its customers. The company is working closely with its partners and suppliers to ensure a seamless transition to compliance, leveraging its expertise in rare earth supply chain management and custom magnet design.

“We are committed to supporting our customers in the aerospace and defense sectors by providing a secure and compliant supply chain for critical neo and samarium cobalt magnets,” said Aaron Williams, VP, Sales & Marketing at Arnold Magnetic Technologies. “Our goal is to maintain the highest standards of quality and compliance, ensuring that our products meet the evolving regulatory landscape.”
