Pick a company to see where it actually produces — every country in its footprint, shaded by capacity share — overlaid with the countries whose register actions name it (severity ring + action count), plus violet arcs to the chokepoint countries its material inputs depend on. The map is a lens; the dossier and register are the source of record.
Kostal Bulgaria Automotive produces across 1 country — 100% of mapped capacity sits in 🇧🇬 BG (HQ 🇧🇬 BG).
material exposures: copper · neodymium · tin · silicon
No register action names Kostal Bulgaria Automotive yet — footprint only.
Its 4 scored input materials trace to 1 supplier country — 1 refines >70% in a single country. Top input chokepoint: 🇨🇳 China (neodymium 85%, silicon 80%, tin 55%, +1) — nearest ex-🇨🇳 neodymium producer: 🇲🇾 Malaysia ~8% — ~6-12mo to ramp (share-of-stage heuristic, not a sourced qualification time).Armed chokepoint: 🇨🇳 China has itself issued 17 register actions restricting the inputs it already dominates — neodymium (7), rare-earth-elements (6), rare-earths (5), silicon (2) — max severity 5/5. This share is a demonstrated lever, not just a concentration.Latest: China MOFCOM Preliminary Anti-Dumping Ruling on Japanese Dichlorosilane (DCS) Imports · 2026-09-07 · 31d ago

Named counterparties: this dossier names 1 firm with a source; 1 is in this corpus with a mapped footprint, and 1 of those produces in a country already on this map (🇨🇳 China) — the named end of an exposure the country layers show anonymously.Volkswagen AG (customer) 🇨🇳 CN ◆ ◆ = produces in a country already on this map.
Reading the map: green shading = the company's production countries by capacity share, with dots at facility cities (dashed = approximate, country-level). Violet arcs = INPUT DEPENDENCIES — they run from the country that dominates world production/refining of a material the company consumes to the company's base; the % is that country's share of world supply at the named stage, NOT an import/export volume. Severity rings = countries whose register actions name the company.
