Renaming the company Carbide Metals, Inc., the partners set out to restore the reputation of the old Metal Carbides Company as a major supplier of carbide blanks and rod extrusions.

Carbide Metals, Inc. moved to Blairsville, Pennsylvania in 2002, where today it operates in partnership with Preform Specialties from a modernized, state-of-the-art facility.
