Highlights

  • Zorr Technology, controlled by Xiamen Tungsten, reported RMB 71.09 million in 2025 revenue with a slim 2.2% net margin on samarium-cobalt magnet production.
  • A 2022 plan outlined RMB 210 million investment for a 1,000-ton SmCo production line, but this remains an announced capacity figure, not verified output.
  • Chinese Academy of Sciences research links Zorr to high-iron SmCo technology advances, though quantified cost reductions have not been independently confirmed.
  • Western aerospace and defense sectors need qualified alternative SmCo sources, making verified manufacturing improvements strategically critical.
