Engineered specifically to support the manufacturing sectors of Dublin, Galway, Cork, and the wider Irish region.
As Ireland advances its transition toward a carbon-neutral economy under the National Climate Action Plan, the demand for high-grade rare-earth magnets has escalated. From the offshore wind developments along the Atlantic coast to the thriving medical technology (MedTech) hub in Galway, Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets serve as the critical foundation for modern technological applications.
We recognize the complex supply chain and engineering specifications that procurement managers in Ireland demand. High coercivity, exceptional thermal stability, and corrosion protection are absolute requirements for products operating in the demanding Irish marine and industrial environments.
By leveraging advanced sintering technologies and raw material integration, Zhejiang Laysun Magnetics Ltd. provides Irish enterprises with direct factory-pricing structures, strict quality assurance protocols, and full compliance with European standards (including REACH, RoHS, and CE certifications).
How shifting macroeconomic trends impact permanent magnet supply dynamics for Irish industries.
Ireland targets 20GW of offshore wind energy by 2040. Direct-drive wind generators require up to 650kg of rare-earth magnets per megawatt. Our high-coercivity NdFeB arc segments are optimized to resist thermal demagnetization in these giant offshore setups.
Galway is one of the world's top five medical device technology hubs. Micro-sized NdFeB cylinders and discs are vital components in modern surgical robotics, magnetic field therapy, medical sensors, and high-resolution MRI scanners.
With electric vehicle adoption surging across Dublin and Cork, Tier-1 automotive component suppliers require reliable, certified suppliers for Electric Power Steering (EPS) motors. We deliver consistent, customized magnetic flux profiles.
Founded at the turn of the millennium in 1999, Zhejiang Laysun Magnetics Ltd. has evolved from a specialist workshop to a leading national high-tech enterprise. Our modern facility, spanning over 100,000 square meters, runs advanced automated sintering furnaces, wire-cutting machines, and surface plating systems.
Our annual production output exceeds 5,000 tons of rare earth NdFeB magnets. We focus on developing high-performance permanent magnetic solutions that push the boundaries of energy density and thermal resilience. Under our strict operational values of Quality, Credibility, Technology, and Innovation, we handle all production stages in-house—from raw material alloy melting to final testing.
Vacuum induction melting furnaces ensure precise control over rare-earth chemical compositions.
Dedicated slicing and wire-cutting machinery achieves tolerance limits as low as ±0.01mm.
We manufacture NdFeB magnets that stand up to the most demanding operational environments.
Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. We supply grades ranging from standard N35 up to the extreme performance limits of N52, alongside high-temperature variants designed for demanding environments:
By optimizing the grain boundary diffusion (GBD) process, we minimize the use of heavy rare earth metals (Dysprosium and Terbium) while maintaining high coercivity. This keeps our production cost-effective for our customers.
Due to the high iron content (~65%) in the NdFeB alloy, proper surface coating is critical, particularly for humid and coastal climates like Ireland. We offer industrial-grade coatings tested to international standards:
| Coating Type | Thickness | SST (Salt Spray Test) |
|---|---|---|
| Ni-Cu-Ni | 15 - 25 μm | 48 - 96 Hours |
| Black Epoxy | 15 - 30 μm | Up to 500 Hours |
| Zinc (Zn) | 8 - 15 μm | 24 - 48 Hours |
| Everlube / Teflon | 10 - 20 μm | Over 720 Hours |
We provide standard and custom-machined permanent magnets across six key sectors.
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. Every production batch undergoes strict non-destructive testing (NDT), including magnetic flux measurements, dimensional testing, and environmental simulation. We trace every stage of production from raw material batching to final packaging.
For our clients in Ireland, we provide complete customs clearance documentation. Our close logistics partnerships enable secure shipping options to Dublin, Cork, Shannon, and Belfast ports, with options for both direct sea freight and expedited air delivery.
Technical answers regarding magnet design, customization, lead times, and imports to Ireland.
For custom-shaped sintered NdFeB magnets, our standard tooling and manufacturing cycle takes 15–20 days. Air shipping to Ireland (Dublin/Cork airports) takes 5-7 working days, while sea freight door-to-port deliveries take about 30–35 days.
For maritime and offshore applications, we recommend double-layer organic coatings like Black Epoxy, or advanced options like Everlube and Teflon. These coatings pass salt spray tests (SST) exceeding 720 hours without showing signs of surface degradation.
Yes, our metallurgical engineers can match international standards, including DIN 17410, IEC 60404-8-1, and standard industry classifications. We match and verify Remanence (Br), Coercivity (Hcb/Hcj), and Maximum Energy Product ((BH)max) parameters.
We are fully compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations, which is essential for placing products on the European market. Our production processes are certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and we can provide certificates of conformity (CoC) for each shipment.
Sintered NdFeB is produced by vacuum-melting alloy powders under pressure and heating. This offers high magnetic strength but limited complexity. Bonded NdFeB mixes magnetic powder with binders for injection molding, yielding precise shapes with lower magnetic output.
