About USMMA

The U.S. Magnetic Materials Association ("USMMA") is a trade association dedicated to restoring a competitive, secure, end-to-end rare earth supply-chain to support the domestic manufacturing of rare earth permanent magnets. USMMA is concerned with recent news reports, "think tank" positions, academic reports, U.S. government generalizations and promotional activities by some rare earth industry participants that oversimplify and downplay the seriousness of the rare earth crisis

About Stans Energy
