Royalty Management Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: RMCO) announced that its portfolio holding, Advanced Magnet Lab (AML), received a $2 million grant and contract from the United States Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to produce high-grade sintered NdFeB permanent magnets for defense applications. The funding aims to develop domestically manufactured magnets that reduce reliance on Chinese technologies, offering superior performance and environmental benefits.
The DLA contract enables AML to manufacture consistent, fully traceable patented magnets for the U.S. defense supply chain. AML leverages new technologies to create unique geometries, such as PM-Uniform and PM-Axial magnets, which are wire-like configurations that improve thermal efficiency and power density in motors. The award includes a two-year contract for supply chain management, alloying, and permanent magnet manufacturing, including alloy composition optimization.
Thomas Sauve, CEO of Royalty Management, stated that AML's technologies for magnet production are superior to current options and that the government recognized the strategic value AML brings. AML's innovations improve upon Chinese technologies, providing greater manufacturing efficiency and performance with less environmental impact and energy consumption.
Royalty Management participates in AML's growth through an investment in convertible debt, which supports a sponsored research program. In return, RMCO receives a royalty on all sales of products derived from the developed technologies. This arrangement allows Royalty Management to benefit from AML's success while contributing to the advancement of critical defense technologies.
