About Us

Our Story

From Germany to Georgetown

Henry Strippelhoff arrived from Germany in 1929 with a journeyman's card and a commitment to craftsmanship. In 1943, he founded what became Carbide Products in Georgetown, KY. Over 80 years and four generations later, that same standard of precision still drives everything we do.
