We weigh every pound of material with care, settle every quote with integrity, and pick up the phone when others hide behind emails.
We reclaim it, refine it, and give it a second life — just like we’ve done with this company, generation after generation.
We were built in backyards and barns, by hands that understood both hard work and heavy metal. Our story started in the dirt, around grinding wheels and workbenches. It’s been forged through family ties, late nights, loud music, and honest conversations over cigars and coffee — or whiskey, if we’re being real.
We believe in doing things the right way, not the easy way.

Globally, there are thousands of tons of tungsten scrap generated from oil and gas, machining, thermal spray, aerospace, energy, healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, scrap dealers
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.
We have been in business over 50 years now. 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. We doubled our business by 2020 and have a company goal of tripling business by 2030.
With just over 50 years in business Tungco hit a major milestone by doubling its business in 2020. Chairman and founder, Steve Nance is proof that success is no accident. Through the many past stories and his on-going commitment still today, he has demonstrated hard work, perseverance, continued learning and sacrifice. The Tungco staff are compelled to follow his example to triple business by 2030 and keep the business thriving another 50 years.
