USA Rare Earth Announces Strategic Partnership with Hatch

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USA Rare Earth, LLC (USARE), a vertically integrated magnet technology company, announced today that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Hatch, a global engineering, project management, and professional services firm. Hatch serves as the lead engineering, procurement, construction management company (EPCM) for USARE and, as part of this collaboration, has signaled its alignment with an investment in USARE.

The company provides engineering solutions for the entire rare earths value chain, ranging from the mining and processing of raw materials to procurement, engineering, and construction management of rare earth metal alloys and magnets.

"Hatch continues to be an outstanding partner in engineering and constructing our rare earth magnet operations, and we are excited that they have also chosen to have a stake in our journey through their investment in our company," said Tom Schneberger, CEO of USA Rare Earth. "We are on the path to building a fully vertically integrated rare earth magnet facility in the United States, and having established partners such as Hatch will play an important role in delivering on this critical vision."

"The global transition towards cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions has sparked a surging demand for rare earth elements. These essential materials are key to propelling the world closer to a greener future," shared John Bianchini, CEO of Hatch. "We are delighted to be a trusted partner with USA Rare Earth and participate with them to support their ambitious plan to reestablish a stable and secure rare earth supply chain in the USA and drive positive change by accelerating the world's transformation to green technologies."
