$1.25 billion, about 1.4 million square feet, 1,500 jobs targeted. Open 2028.
MP Materials chose Northlake, Texas, for the 10X magnet plant. $1.25 billion. About 1.4 million square feet. 1,500 jobs targeted. Open 2028. Ten-thousand-ton scale, next to the Independence Parkway plant already running in AllianceTexas.
Independence is 250,000 square feet turning Mountain Pass rare earths into sintered NdFeB - metal, alloy, press, sinter, finish. GM Ultium motors already take Fort Worth magnets. Humanoid joints need the same material. 10X is that line at auto volume.
Magnets are the part of a robot motor nobody photographs. MP is trying to make them in Texas instead of waiting on a ship.
