Welcome to WIDIA

Widia has been an innovator in the metalcutting industry for more than 80 years.

In 1926 we introduced to the metalcutting world the first carbide that could be used as a high-performance cutting material.

The innovations haven't stopped.

From the world's first patent for carbide indexable inserts, to the development of the world's first coated grade, we never stop researching and developing new technologies to meet our customers' needs.
