A century-old company shaping the future of cutting tools

With more than a century of history, Palbit is a leading manufacturer of tungsten carbide cutting tools with a reputation for innovation and responsiveness to the needs of industries such as automotive and aerospace. With a presence in more than 70 countries and exporting over 90 per cent of its sales, the company combines a successful internationalisation strategy with a strong commitment to sustainability.
Founded in 1916 as a company dedicated to mining, it evolved decades later by integrating production lines for tungsten (wolfram) powders and mixtures. This allowed it to diversify its activity and consolidate its position as a leader in the sector. Today, Palbit meets the demands of sectors such as automotive, aeronautics, moulds, and metalworking. The ability to create solutions for innovative materials, such as superalloys and lighter and stronger composites, reflects the constant commitment to advanced technology.
