For over 55 years, Newcomer has played an important role in the manufacturing and finishing of tungsten carbide products for solving metal removal needs. Newcomer carbide inserts and special carbide tools can be found on the job in a wide variety of markets from basic steel to sophisticated composite materials. Wherever the need exists for removal of metal through a cutting operation, Newcomer is helping to meet production requirements.

Start up began for Newcomer during the last year of World War II. Production began in a small building located in Latrobe, Pennsylvania about 50 miles east of Pittsburgh. Through its early years, the Company successfully met the challenges of the metal-working industry.

In 1965, the Company moved into new and larger facilities at its present location, just three miles north of Latrobe. Expansion programs occurred over the years and today's facility consists of more than two acres of floor space, with approximately 90,000 square feet of manufacturing and office area.

Over the years, Newcomer has developed the "know-how" and expertise to supply the metalworking industries with superior products. From spray dried powders to sinter-hip technology, Newcomer Products is on the leading edge of carbide enhancements.

As a specialist in carbide, Newcomer stresses its Research and Development as well as its Quality Control and Quality Assurance programs. Extensive research has resulted in the development of new grades and products to meet various machining applications where specific tooling characteristics are required. New coated inserts with enhanced substrates and engineered chipbreaker designs have been developed to assure longer life, higher cutting speeds and improved productivity for end users.
