Industries at LAMP

Neodyte is BaRupOn’s rare earth permanent magnet manufacturing venture, based at the LAMP campus. It produces sintered neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets, the highest magnetic force per gram of any material manufactured today.

Nearly every high efficiency motor depends on them, from electric vehicle traction motors to direct-drive wind generators, industrial pumps, and compressors. Building this capability domestically strengthens the American supply chain for defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing instead of relying on imports.

Electric vehicle motors, including charging infrastructure BaRupOn already operates in Southern California, wind generation, industrial pumps and compressors, and other high efficiency motor applications.

Co-locating magnet production with LAMP’s on-site power generation means the energy intensive manufacturing process runs on reliable, firm power rather than depending on an external grid.

Spin Energy Storage is part of LAMP’s energy infrastructure, working alongside partners like CK Power to strengthen the campus’s power reliability. It helps store and manage energy generated on site so power stays consistent even as demand shifts throughout the day.

Storage smooths out the campus’s hybrid power system, natural gas and solar, so tenants get continuous, reliable power rather than power that fluctuates with weather or demand swings.

Solideon, an aerospace and advanced manufacturing company founded by former SpaceX, Virgin Orbit, and Rocket Lab engineers, is bringing its 3D printing technology to LAMP.

Solideon builds autonomous, deployable manufacturing systems capable of producing critical parts on site, including aerospace components and rocket engine parts. Its technology, called Aperture, is a robotic additive manufacturing system that combines 3D printing, CNC machining, and 3D inspection in one process.

It brings advanced, on-site manufacturing capability to the campus, supporting rapid production of precision parts for aerospace and defense-related industries without depending on a centralized, off-site factory.

QYK is developing a proposed 7,000 metric tons per year Methacrylic Acid (MAA) manufacturing facility at LAMP, with future expansion planned to 30,000 metric tons. MAA is a key building block chemical used in everyday products like adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, medical plastics, and automotive and construction materials.

It uses a sustainable, U.S. grown corn based process. Glucose from corn is fermented into Itaconic Acid, which is then converted into MAA, replacing petroleum derived feedstocks and cutting carbon emissions.

The facility operates under strict TCEQ and EPA emissions standards with continuous real time air quality monitoring. Wastewater is fully treated on site using advanced water recovery systems, with any discharge into Cow Island Bayou meeting non-toxic, safe standards. The plant also follows a zero odor policy through enclosed, controlled systems.

A dedicated rail spur connects to the nearby Union Pacific line to move raw materials and products, reducing truck traffic on local roads. Truck access is routed through FM 2830 and State Highway 770, chosen specifically to avoid residential neighborhoods, with coordination with county officials on traffic timing and signal adjustments.

It’s expected to create skilled and entry level jobs during construction and long term operations, with priority local hiring from Liberty County.

LAMP is developing drone manufacturing capability focused on national security applications, contributing to domestic production of critical defense technology. The campus supports design, production, and testing under one roof as part of its broader manufacturing ecosystem.

Reduces reliance on foreign suppliers for defense-relevant hardware and strengthens U.S. industrial capacity in a strategically important sector.

LAMP supports precision manufacturing of rocket components and machine parts on site, aligning with the campus’s broader focus on advanced materials and aerospace-related production.

Precision manufacturing for aerospace and machine components benefits from the same firm, on-site power and co-located supply chain that supports the rest of LAMP’s industries.
