The company sources key metallurgical raw materials, including tungsten ore concentrates, scrap carbide, tungsten oxide, cobalt, steel bars, and forgings. These materials are primarily obtained from international suppliers, with the global tungsten market exhibiting significant supply concentration and price volatility due to mining and processing capacity centered in China. Export controls and market conditions have increased uncertainty and costs for tungsten products internationally. To manage raw material availability, the company utilizes a combination of long-term supply agreements and spot purchases, supplemented by internal tungsten recycling to reduce dependence on external sources. Steel bars and forgings are procured from multiple suppliers in the United States and abroad for the production of toolholders, tool parts, mining tools, rotary cutting tools, and accessories.
