Ningbo Yunsheng
Sintered NdFeB magnets and magnetic assemblies, supplied as application solutions from design through finished components. Filings position Baotou for high-volume blank production close to raw material and Ningbo for precision finishing of magnets and assemblies, with end markets in new-energy vehicles, consumer electronics, rail transit and industrial robotics.

Narrative
Ningbo Yunsheng is a Shanghai-listed rare-earth permanent magnet producer headquartered in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Filings describe it as supplying NdFeB application solutions spanning blanks, finished magnets and assemblies, with Ningbo handling finishing and Baotou producing blanks in volume. At the end of 2025 it reported 26,000 metric tons per year of blank capacity and 10,000 metric tons per year of grain-boundary-diffusion capacity, and sold 14,197 metric tons of finished magnets. Its 15,000 metric ton Baotou project commissioned a first 5,000 metric tons in June 2025; in June 2026 the company moved the remaining 10,000 metric tons to December 2027 and December 2028, citing export-policy adjustment and structural change in industry competition. It filed for a Hong Kong listing in June 2026.
Where public sources disagree
- FY2025 revenue is stated three ways across public sources: CNY 5.464 billion total operating revenue, CNY 4.833 billion core-business revenue in the annual report's own narrative, and CNY 5.417 billion in coverage of the June 2026 Hong Kong listing application, likely on a different reporting basis. The first two are different line items rather than contradictory.
- The 26,000 t/yr figure is blank capacity, not finished-magnet capacity. FY2025 finished magnet sales were 14,197 t. Third-party lists presenting 26,000 t as magnet capacity conflate the two.
- The expansion slowdown is primary and well documented: announcement 2026-042, dated 13 June 2026, moved two 5,000 t/yr tranches to the end of 2027 and the end of 2028, citing the external macroeconomic environment and export-policy adjustment, and a decision to control the pace of investment.
- Reuters-sourced reporting in December 2025 named the company as one of the first magnet makers to receive a general rare-earth export license. No company announcement confirming this was located; separately, the company stated in July 2025 that it does not conduct direct exports of rare-earth raw material, which is a different question.
- Ningbo and Baotou capacity is not split out in filings. Do not expect a site-by-site tonnage breakdown; it is not public.

How this page is sourced
Everything here comes from public sources — company filings, annual reports, exchange announcements, government releases and trade press. Every figure is linked to the document it came from and carries the date that document was published, because a capacity number without a date is not a fact, it is a rumor with a decimal point.
What is deliberately absent: material nonpublic information. I have spent more than two decades in this industry and a good deal of what I know about these companies I learned under NDA. Those obligations do not expire and they do not bend for a website. Nothing I have been told in confidence appears here in any form, and nothing on this page — or missing from it — should be read as a signal about what I know privately. I hold NDAs absolutely. It is the reason clients tell me things.
Judgment is the other thing left out on purpose. This page reports what has been published and who published it. Whether a target is credible, whether a ramp will hold, whether a capacity figure survives contact with the plant behind it — that is the work I do for clients, and it does not belong in a free reference page.
Where public sources disagree, I say so rather than picking a winner. Where a figure has not been published, the field says so rather than carrying an estimate. An empty field is information too.
Public filings tell you what a company has said. Whether it holds up is a different question, and the one I get hired to answer.
