Future Mobility
Electrification changes the weight equation. Every kilogram removed from a vehicle returns range, payload or battery cost.
- Structural magnesium battery enclosures and lower cases
- Forged magnesium wheels reducing unsprung mass by 30–40%
- Cross-car beams, seat frames and display carriers
- Thermal and EMI management housings for power electronics
- eVTOL and light aviation structural components
Where the material platform is heading.
Lightweight structural supply
Slabs, extrusions, sheet, forged wheels and machined assemblies in volume production for EV and industrial customers.
Battery-structure integration
Larger single-piece magnesium enclosures replacing multi-part aluminum and steel assemblies.
Closed-loop alloy programs
Customer process scrap returned, remelted and re-supplied under the same specification.
Low-carbon magnesium
Progressive electrification and heat recovery in reduction, reducing embodied carbon per tonne.
Digital material passport
Chemistry, process and inspection data delivered with each lot in machine-readable form.
Recyclable by design
Magnesium can be remelted repeatedly with a fraction of the energy required for primary production.
Measured, not claimed
Weight, strength and tolerance targets are verified on our own test equipment before release.
Development partnership
Joint programs with OEM engineering teams from concept alloy through series qualification.
Magnesium, calcium and master alloys — quoted to your specification.
Send grade, dimension, quantity and destination. Our North America engineering team handles RFQ, sampling, qualification and volume supply.
