Production - Burr Grinder

While you may not have heard of IMCO, we have actually been in the area for more than 40 years. IMCO Carbide Tool Inc. started as a small company in Toledo in 1978. By 2020, we had grown to over 120 employees. As essential infrastructure, we did not close due to Covid in 2020. In fact, even with a reduction in business due to the recession caused by the pandemic, we were able to remain profitable and complete a merger with IMC Group (a Berkshire Hathaway Company) with the goal of becoming the largest endmill manufacturer in the United States. We will be expanding operations and we hope you'll consider being a part of the future success at IMCO!
