About Company
Tungco specializes in tungsten carbide reclamation and raw feed supply to tungsten carbide suppliers and consumers. As a global leader in the tungsten recycling industry, Tungco supplies truckload quantities of material to consumers who recycle and produce new tungsten products. Our procurement team is made up of some of the most knowledgeable tungsten specialists in the industry. We value our relationships. Ensuring that our suppliers receive the highest level of service throughout the procurement process is very important to us.
Accurate processing, settlement, and payment are handled with the utmost efficiency. Globally, there are thousands of tons of tungsten scrap generated from oil and gas, machining, thermal spray, aerospace, energy, healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, scrap dealers
and other tooling industries. These industries use tungsten in their daily operations and are left with a large amount of tungsten waste. At Tungco, our suppliers are able to trade that scrap for revenue and we are able to recycle the tungsten into reusable material.
One of our core values at Tungco is to do “Whatever it Takes.” Let us prove it to you, it’s as simple as a price quote.
Words from Chairman
When I look back over the years I do see some disappointments, some regrets, and certainly some mistakes. Many of the choices I made were dumb and were failures. Even with that said, I do not look back today and feel any disappointment for not trying.
2019 began our 50th year in business. Through the years we have ridden out many waves in the market, as that is what markets tend to do. Sometimes, we were only surviving and at other times, we were thriving. All the while we have maintained our goal of growing the
business and capturing market share. Much of our growth and success has been found by keeping our core focus on tungsten and the recycling of it. Our persistence over the years has led us to our current position in the global tungsten market.
My heart is full of thanks and gratitude to my team, both present and past, and to customers and suppliers we have worked with over the last half century. I am excited and look forward to what the future holds.
