Kennametal

Kennametal designs and manufactures metalworking and wear-resistant tooling solutions grounded in materials science, for industrial applications that demand precision and durability. The company works in materials science, metallurgy, metalworking, cemented carbide and tungsten-titanium carbide alloys, advanced tooling systems and manufacturing engineering. Its technical staff includes engineers, metallurgists and manufacturing specialists working on demanding customer problems in tooling and wear resistance.

The company's origins trace to 1938, when founder Philip M. McKenna invented a tungsten-titanium carbide alloy that remains foundational to its materials science work. Two product lines carry that heritage forward: advanced tooling systems, which are designed to let customers manufacture with greater efficiency and accuracy, and wear-resistant materials and products engineered for demanding industrial environments. Kennametal has been in business for over 85 years.

Today Kennametal employs approximately 10,000 people and operates in more than 60 countries, combining global reach with local customer support. Its products are used across aerospace, defence, energy, transportation, general engineering and metalworking. The stated operating focus is continuous innovation in materials science, precision, reliability and technical depth.
