About Magrathea
Magrathea is a technology company that has pioneered a next-generation electrolytic process technology for producing primary magnesium metal from seawater and brines. We are the category leader in revolutionizing Western magnesium supply for the United States and its allies.
Magrathea was founded in California on the belief that domestic magnesium production could be made commercially viable through improved process technology. Since then, the company has built a capital stack nearing $100M across venture capital, U.S. Government investment, and commercial partnerships.
