Tungsten Carbide
Finishing and Grinding
Metal finishing is a specialist skill in itself. It is, therefore, unusual to find a finishing shop within a Tungsten Carbide manufacturing facility.
We are extremely keen to maintain control over the final quality of our products and to deliver them to you in as short a lead-time as possible. This is why we have invested in our own finishing facility and continue to develop it alongside our Carbide production facility.
