All 57 ULVAC Magnet Lines Land at Pohang as Commissioning Begins
EMAT sits 16% above its 52-week low of $1.28.
Summary
All 57 containers of ULVAC sintered-magnet equipment are now on site at Pohang, with commissioning starting in November — up from the first 13 containers disclosed in the October 15 8-K. The equipment underpins a planned tenfold capacity increase from roughly 1,000 to about 10,000 metric tons a year, including about 6,000 tons of high-performance sintered magnets. EM&T also signed an investment framework with Pohang City on October 27, with roughly US$28 million in local grant funding expected subject to conditions, and says more than 50% of input materials are on site or contracted. The timing matters because China's export-control suspension runs to November 10, 2026, and DFARS magnet restrictions widen on January 1, 2027. The company still carries going-concern doubt and a Yorkville convertible facility that can dilute; execution on commissioning is the swing factor. A ribbon-cutting and operational showcase is set for December 17, 2026.
