At Tungco, we believe our people are the reason we’re able to lead the tungsten recycling industry with confidence and integrity. From the shop floor to the executive team, it’s the dedication, knowledge, and character of our staff that power everything we do. We don’t just process scrap—we build relationships, honor legacy, and deliver world-class service through a team that cares deeply about getting it right.
A Family-Led Foundation
At the heart of Tungco is the Nance family. CEO Cliff Nance, alongside Steve and Evan Nance, represents a multi-generational commitment to honest work and strong relationships. Their leadership reflects the core values that have shaped the company since its earliest days. This family-centered culture extends throughout the organization, making Tungco a place where values come first.
Field Experience Meets Leadership
Leaders like Rob Donor and his son Nate represent the deep bench of procurement expertise that Tungco is known for. With Rob’s decades of industry knowledge and Nate’s energy and perspective, they form a powerful team that ensures suppliers receive service rooted in trust and responsiveness.
Operational Excellence in Action
On the processing side, Julian Gonzalez serves as Plant Manager at Lineage Metallurgical, leading with a hands-on approach that ensures safety, consistency, and quality every day. Meanwhile, Markus Ewecker runs Tungco GmbH in Germany, where speed and accuracy define their approach to receiving, sorting, and preparing tungsten for reclamation. Their leadership keeps operations running efficiently, on time, and to spec.
Culture That Connects
The people of Tungco aren’t just coworkers—they’re part of a culture built on support, respect, and shared goals. This culture extends beyond our internal team to our suppliers and customers around the world. Whether we’re shipping truckloads of material or taking time to connect with our community, we lead with the human side of the business.
