Taso Arima, co-founder and CEO of IperionX, has been publicly discussing the company's efforts to re-establish a domestic U.S. titanium supply chain. In interviews and presentations from 2022 through 2024, he described IperionX's technology, which he said can produce titanium metal powder from scrap or minerals using a hydrogen-assisted process that reduces carbon and energy intensity compared to traditional methods. Arima stated that the U.S. became fully import-dependent on titanium metal after its last major sponge plant closed in 2020, and he characterized the current supply chain as dominated by China and Russia. He also cited the closure of a titanium sponge plant and geopolitical events, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as factors highlighting supply chain vulnerabilities. Arima has reported progress on several fronts, including a partnership with GKN Aerospace to supply titanium plate, an agreement with Ford Motor Company to develop prototype parts, and a contract to recycle consumer electronic scrap. He mentioned receiving a $12.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense under the Defense Production Act Title III program and discussed plans for a commercial facility in Virginia. Arima projected that IperionX could reach $100 million in EBITDA by 2026 once fully scaled, and he stated the company aims to have over 10,000 tons per annum of titanium metal manufacturing capacity within five years. He also described potential cost reductions of up to 75% for certain titanium products and said the company is targeting markets including aerospace, defense, automotive, and consumer electronics.
