Iron
Hematite Oxide
to Pure Iron
80% of the Periodic Table is metal. China refines 80% of it.
Whoever turns raw dust into pure metal decides what gets built.
Permanent magnets, electric motors, and power transformers all need metal at 99.9%+ purity. Old smelters weren't built to make it, and right now almost all of it comes from China.
Over 90% of all metal made on Earth is iron.
So we started with iron.

99.95% pure. Pulled straight from the bath.
We turn raw iron oxide into solid plates of 99.95% pure iron at low temperature. No coal, no blast furnace, no 1,600°C melt.
Parts in days, not months.
We're European engineers and proud Westerners, based in Hong Kong right now and opening our first mill in Texas soon.
We started in Hong Kong for one reason: speed. In hardware, you only move as fast as parts show up. Here, we get custom steel and pumps in days, weld overnight, and run again the next morning.

Next mill locked.
First mill in Texas. Then mills everywhere.
Today we make iron with low-temperature electrolysis. We aren't religious about one chemistry: if another metal needs a different process, we'll build it.
What stays the same is how a Durendal mill runs. Automated cells, cranes, and software running 24/7 with no night shifts, turning cheap power and raw ore into pure metal wherever it's needed.
Iron first. Then the Periodic Table.
Once iron runs at scale, we go after the next metals the same way. One after another.
