“We appreciate the opportunity that Chairman Murkowski offered
us to explain Materion’s part in the critical minerals supply
chain, and we were glad to brief the Committee about the importance
of our industry within the United States,” said Jugal K.
Vijayvargiya, President and Chief Executive Officer of Materion
Corporation. “As a company that uses 25 of the critical minerals
identified by the Department of the Interior, including the
critical and strategic material beryllium, we have extensive
knowledge of the U.S. critical minerals industry.”
Mr. Gregory noted that materials from Materion, a longtime
supplier to the U.S. government, can be found in military systems
including optics, airborne and space surveillance, ballistic
missile defense, and strategic weapons. As the representative of
the largest industry supplier on the panel, he also discussed with
Senator Lee of Utah the thousands of jobs within the United States
supported by the beryllium supply chain, including those at
Materion’s beryllium mine in Delta, Utah.
“Materion is pleased that Senators Lee and Murkowski and their
colleagues recognize the vital importance of critical minerals as
well as the significance of the only mine-to-mill supply chain for
beryllium in the world,” said Vijayvargiya. “We look forward to
continued engagement with the U.S. government to ensure security of
supply for the critical minerals that Materion has been producing
for decades.”
