Critical Raw Material
Advisory
MPC Consulting’s Executive Advisory on Critical Raw Materials provides tailored solutions for sustainable resource management, navigating the complex landscape with expertise.
Who We Are
MPC is a boutique advisory and interim management firm focused on the critical raw materials underpinning electric mobility and advanced industrial systems. We operate across rare earths, battery minerals, magnets, and recycling—where supply chains, policy, and downstream requirements intersect.
When decisions become complex, timelines become constrained, and value-chain assumptions no longer hold true, we collaborate with management teams and boards. Our support spans exposure analysis, offtake and partnership structuring, policy and licensing considerations, and the practical realities of downstream qualification and scale-up.
MPC combines deep value-chain expertise with hands-on execution. We are frequently engaged in interim executive roles, reporting directly to CEOs and managing directors and helping organisations assess realistic options and make informed, timely decisions in a rapidly changing market.

Our Services
Executive Advisory
MPC works with management teams and boards across the power and motion ecosystem—particularly in electric mobility, lithium-ion batteries, and rare-earth NdFeB permanent-magnet motor technologies—focusing on supply-chain realities, policy constraints, and downstream customer requirements.
Industry Sector
MPC conducts in-depth analysis of industrial sectors and critical supply chains, focusing on structural risk, resilience, and long-term viability. Our work assesses exposure across upstream, midstream, and downstream segments, including dependency, diversification potential, and practical constraints on localisation.
We evaluate supply chains against relevant benchmarks and standards, including ESG and Supply Chain Act requirements, carbon footprint, and policy-driven compliance considerations, while grounding all analysis in current market dynamics and real-world execution constraints.
Professional
MPC provides interim executives and senior management support during periods of transition, execution pressure, or organisational change. We take hands-on responsibility for delivering critical initiatives, stabilising complex situations, and supporting management teams and boards through restructuring, turnaround, and scale-up phases.
Our interim roles are typically embedded, outcome-driven, and structured with clear mandates—focused on execution, stakeholder alignment, and restoring momentum where it matters most.
Communication Strategy
MPC supports organisations in shaping clear, credible communication strategies around critical raw materials and complex industrial themes. Our work focuses on aligning technical reality, market positioning, and policy context into narratives that resonate with boards, investors, partners, and stakeholders.
We assist clients in strengthening external and internal communications—particularly digital and investor-facing materials—by translating complexity into clarity and reinforcing a resilient, trustworthy business identity.
Global Location
MPC advises organisations on global locations and funding strategies for critical materials and electric mobility value chains. Our work focuses on aligning operational footprint decisions with customer requirements, policy incentives, funding availability, and long-term supply chain resilience.
We support clients in assessing where projects can be executed most effectively—considering regulatory frameworks, access to capital and public funding, infrastructure readiness, and downstream qualification requirements—so that location and funding choices reinforce, rather than constrain, future growth.
