-- 根據《日經新聞》週五報道，由於出口管制日益收緊，Ulvac（東京證券交易所代碼：6728）計劃將稀土磁體生產設備的生產線從中國遷至日本。 這家在真空燒結爐和熔煉爐市場佔據主導地位的公司先前一直將所有此類設備的生產都設在中國。報道稱，對潛在出口限制的擔憂促使該公司做出這項轉移。 Ulvac將於今年夏季在其位於神奈川縣茅崎市的工廠新增熔煉爐產能，年產量可達12台。報告稱，該產能相當於約2.4萬噸磁鐵產量，主要用於電動車和資料中心的釹磁鐵。 報告稱，Ulvac預計到2030年，全球對稀土磁體的需求將超過40萬噸，其新增產能可望滿足該需求的約15%。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。）
