📌 Why Choose CERATIZIT?

Best For: Tool Manufacturers, Engineering & Wear Parts Industries, Advanced Materials Applications.

  • The “upGRADE” Circular Economy: CERATIZIT has mastered advanced Zinc (thermal) and Chemical recycling processes to produce virgin-quality carbide from >99% secondary raw materials. This grants buyers immunity against volatile tungsten mining prices and shortages.
  • Mastery of Extremes: Their manufacturing capability is virtually limitless, spanning from microscopic 0.2g inserts to 700kg high-pressure tools and complex 50° spiraled coolant rods. For tool makers, this eliminates geometry limitations.
  • Gradient Structure Technology: For heavy machining, they employ a proprietary sintering process that keeps the cutting tip extremely hard while engineering the connection zone to be tough. This resolves the critical issue of thermal expansion mismatch between carbide and steel, effectively preventing stress cracks in brazed tools during high-heat operations.
  • Logistics as a Service: With a state-of-the-art logistics hub in Germany holding over 75,000 items, CERATIZIT maintains a 99% delivery capacity. This allows partners to treat CERATIZIT as their “virtual warehouse,” keeping their own inventory lean and cash flow healthy while ensuring rapid, just-in-time dispatch for urgent orders.
  • Process Validation: Beyond selling products, CERATIZIT operates global Innovation Centers where customers can test and validate machining processes on industrial-scale equipment. This “Try before you Scale” approach significantly reduces technical risk, ensuring that new tooling solutions work perfectly before mass implementation.
