Vertically Integrated Manufacturing
Our vertically integrated manufacturing provides the best long-term value for our customers. One prime example of this is our carbide preform capabilities. By preforming the component to tighter tolerance than industry standards in the green state prior to sintering, we can eliminate the costs associated with labor-intensive finish grinding operations. Another example is our ability to grind stock allowances to a minimum to reduce grinding time.
