Buffalo Tungsten, Inc.

Buffalo Tungsten was incorporated in 1987 with the mission of becoming one of the world’s leading independent suppliers of tungsten powder and tungsten carbide powders.

A strategic location in Western New York provides BTI a low cost source of hydroelectric power that is generated from the Niagara Falls. This allows BTI to deliver the winning combination of high quality tungsten powders at low cost.

Unlike vertically integrated manufacturers of tungsten powder, BTI does not manufacture finished products from tungsten. This means that we are not in competition with our customers. As a result, customers can feel comfortable working together with us to develop tungsten powder that is best suited to the needs of their specific applications.  We develop a relationship built on trust and always strive to help them to improve their tungsten products.

Buffalo Tungsten Inc. (BTI) has been a leading independent manufacturer of tungsten powder products since 1987.  Our highest volume products are tungsten metal powder and tungsten carbide powder, but we specialize in a number of additional products.  We manufacture WC/Co thermal spray powder as well as nanosized tungsten carbide powder.  We also produce various sizes of crushed tungsten carbide hardmetal.

Our commitment to quality and customer service have established us a leader in the international tungsten market.  We work with our customers to make their finished products better by fine tuning their specifications to achieve the best possible results.  Our powders are used in powdered metallurgy applications such as electrical contacts, heavy metal alloys, electronic heat sinks, mining tools and fabricated tungsten rod/bar.

We purchase tungsten raw materials, including tungsten ores and concentrates, APT, and tungsten oxides.  We also purchase tungsten carbide scrap for the production of crushed carbide in various mesh sizes.
