Remloy Rare-Earth Magnet Recycling Facility
A public, source-linked profile of Remloy Ltd. (Mkango Magnetic Materials, formerly Mkango Resources) and its rare-earth magnet recycling activity in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany.
At a glance
Current status
Operating, with ramp-up under Mkango ownership after the August 2026 acquisition.
Material scope
End-of-life NdFeB magnets and magnet scrap processed into recycled NdFeB magnet material.
What the record covers
| Organisation | Remloy Ltd. (Mkango Magnetic Materials; formerly Mkango Resources) |
|---|---|
| Process | Short-loop / powder recycling and remanufacturing |
| Technology basis | Recycling of NdFeB magnet material into recycled alloy and powder |
| Generic input | End-of-life NdFeB magnets, production scrap and disclosed feedstock stockpile |
| Recorded output | Recycled NdFeB magnet material |
| Current status date | 31 August 2026, when Mkango reported completion of the acquisition and a new ramp-up target |
How to read the capacity figure
The current public number is a target, not a measured production result. REE Monitor keeps that distinction visible so a ramp-up statement is not presented as installed nameplate capacity or annual throughput.
| Claim | Figure | REE Monitor interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Current owner target | At least 500 t/a | Current Mkango-era ramp-up target for recycled NdFeB magnet material; not installed nameplate and not actual throughput. |
| Former operator claim | 600 t/a nameplate; 1,200 t/a expansion target | Historic Heraeus claims retained as superseded history after the ownership change. They are not added to the current figure. |
| Actual throughput | Not published | No defensible annual production total is currently disclosed in the source set. |
Decision-useful distinction: “at least 500 t/a” describes the current owner's target. It should not be used as proof that the facility already produces 500 tonnes per year.
Primary evidence and open question
The primary current source is Mkango Resources' acquisition announcement dated 31 August 2026. It supports the ownership update, operating/ramp-up status and the at-least-500 t/a target. The record also preserves the earlier Heraeus announcement so users can see why older capacity values are marked superseded.
Open question: what installed nameplate, qualified throughput and ramp-up timing will be demonstrated against the current target?

Frequently asked questions about the Remloy facility profile
What does the Remloy profile document?
It documents source-linked rare-earth magnet recycling activity in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, including the facility status, material scope, process context and the evidence behind reported capacity wording.
Is Remloy's 500 t/a figure actual throughput?
No. The current public record describes at least 500 t/a as a target during ramp-up, not as measured production, installed nameplate capacity or stable annual throughput.
What evidence supports the current Remloy record?
The current ownership and ramp-up update is supported by Mkango Resources' acquisition announcement dated 31 August 2026. The earlier Heraeus announcement remains visible as superseded historical evidence.
