CARBIDE EXPERTS. TRUSTED PARTNERS.
TechMet has been known for quality carbide since we opened our doors in 1998. Twenty five years later, we’re the leading carbide blanks supplier in North America, and our 50,000-square-foot campus houses the largest inventory of carbide blanks in the world. We’ve leveraged this expertise into indexable cutting tools to give metalcutting shops that same strong competitive advantage.
