About Us

Johnston’s Quality Carbide is a family-owned business founded in 1995 by brothers Sam and Richard in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Their goal was to provide customers the best quality carbide and ceramic parts with personal and friendly service. Treating customers like friends is not merely a business practice, it’s who they are.

From humble beginnings in a small grinding shop, the commitment to quality products and service has fostered success. In 2010, JQC moved into a new 80,000 sq. ft. facility expanding its capabilities and expertise.

We truly appreciate the opportunity to work with every one of our customers and work hard every day to make sure they know that. We stand behind the quality of our work and service which is why we put our name in front of it…Johnston Quality Carbide.
