DeepHow today announced a partnership with Noveon Magnetics that will accelerate onboarding, improve operator performance and enable DeepHow to expand their productive capacity and meet growing demand for domestically manufactured rare earth permanent magnets.

Headquartered in San Marcos, Texas, Noveon is the only U.S. manufacturer of sintered neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets. These magnets play a critical role in automotive systems, robotics, industrial motors, energy infrastructure, data storage, and advanced manufacturing.

As the first company to reshore rare earth permanent magnet manufacturing to the United States in more than two decades, Noveon is also rebuilding the specialized workforce needed to support this critical industry—creating skilled manufacturing jobs while training a new generation of American workers.

Over the past year, Noveon has increased its workforce fourfold to meet growing demand. As production—and its workforce—continues to scale, new employees must quickly master highly specialized manufacturing processes while maintaining the highest standards for safety, quality, and consistency.

“Safety is a top priority for Noveon and as our team continues to grow, it is imperative we have effective training that ensures our employees are safe and knowledgeable about safety on the production floor,” said Scott Dunn, Noveon CEO. “DeepHow gives us a scalable way to capture how critical work should be performed, deliver that knowledge consistently, and understand whether our workforce is ready to support production.”

DeepHow Knowledge Capture and Transfer will give Noveon a standardized way to capture and transfer operational knowledge, accelerating operator readiness. Together, Noveon and DeepHow will turn expert knowledge into structured, searchable, multilingual work instructions and AI-enhanced step-by-step guidance. The platform also supports ISO 9001 initiatives and offers Noveon visibility into certifications, identify skills gaps, and overall workforce readiness as production scales.
