Strategic investment to accelerate growth initiatives and ensure supply chain continuity

Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation has announced plans  to expand manufacturing capabilities for its operations located at Amata City Chonburi in  Thailand. The multi-million-dollar investment will enhance Arnold’s global manufacturing footprint by mitigating risk to the permanent magnet supply chain and will significantly increase manufacturing capacity to better serve customers across Asia Pacific and Europe.

Arnold’s Thailand factory, which began operations in October 2024, holds both ISO 9001 and  AS 9100 certifications within one of the country’s premier industrial zones. Initial production capability was focused on electromagnetic rotor and stator assemblies. This second round of investment will add samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnet production, shaping, and finishing  capabilities, and ultimately will double the Company’s overall magnet production capacity.  Phase I investments, completed last month, established all required magnet finishing capabilities at the site. Phase II investments have commenced and will establish SmCo magnet production,  with full operational readiness to be realized by mid-2027.

“Our Thailand operations are poised to play a vital role in Arnold’s future and are central to our global growth strategy,” said Matt Blake, Chief Executive Officer for Arnold Magnetic  Technologies. “This investment provides capacity to support growing customer demand,  improves supply chain resilience, and provides a cost-competitive offering to customers  globally.” The new capabilities will also ease capacity constraints and improve lead times at  Arnold’s Lupfig, Switzerland, SmCo magnet production facility.
