Midwest Tungsten Service Reliable History

MTS – Serving Our Clients Since 1958

Thomas LaBounty, founder of Midwest Tungsten Service was passionate about supplying the best possible product, and also about educating his customers on how to achieve the best results with those products. Although our product line has expanded to include much more than materials for vacuum coating, Tom’s dedication to customer satisfaction and education lives on at Midwest Tungsten. We have one of the largest libraries on tungsten in existence and will use it to help you get the answers that you need.
