Reviewers show a strongly positive trend for Tungco in Madisonville, KY, landing at 87/100. Themes: fast unloading, on-time appointments, polite, knowledgeable staff, and smooth, early payments for tungsten materials. Strengths include professional service, expertise that yields fair/high pricing, and ample dock space. Common complaints are limited: one unhelpful representative, need for clearer dock signage, and confusion over opening time (7am posted vs 8am online). Inventory variety, yard organization for part-picking, and ease of finding parts aren’t covered, so those points remain uncertain.
I'm not a business—I'm just a regular guy who ended up with a sealed case of tungsten carbide thermal spray powder from a freight auction years ago and had no idea what to do with it. I reached out to several recyclers and Tungco came back with an offer that was significantly higher than anyone else, not because they negotiated harder, but because Rob immediately recognized the material for what it actually was rather than treating it as generic scrap.
Rob walked me through every step of the process, answered every question I had (and I had a lot), turned around a purchase order same day, and the ACH payment arrived two days ahead of schedule. The whole process—from first email to money in my account—was smooth, transparent, and completely stress-free.
If you have tungsten carbide material to sell, whether you're a machine shop or just somebody with an unusual find, these are the people to call. Fair, knowledgeable, and genuinely easy to work with.
I was on time, no wait to unload. Plenty room to line up and dock. Just need a sign at the gate indicating where the docks are. Cannot see them from the drive until you are in the very back where they are
