Since founding privately held USA Rare Earth three years ago, Pini Althaus has focused on turning his vision of creating a secure supply of rare earth elements in the United States a reality.

The New York-based CEO is equally determined to establish REE separation and processing capability in the U.S. and build manufacturing facilities for magnets containing the critical elements that are used in everything from American Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets to electric vehicles and wind turbines.
