With over two decades of experience, TCS Ltd combines deep market knowledge with a strong commitment to customer care. Our reputation for quality, reliability, and personal service has made us the trusted choice for professionals across multiple industries.

Proudly family-run since 2002, TCS Ltd is based in the heart of rural Worcestershire, UK. Over the years, we’ve built lasting partnerships with customers both at home and overseas, supplying high-quality tungsten carbide and brazing materials that keep industries moving.

At TCS, we’re not just a supplier, we’re a partner dedicated to helping your business perform at its best.

OUR team

TCS Ltd was founded in 2002 by Ian Brookes, whose career in Tungsten Carbide spans more than three decades. Before launching Tungsten Carbide Solutions Ltd, Ian worked with what was then the largest Tungsten Carbide producer in the world, gaining invaluable experience and technical insight that became the foundation of our company.

In 2016, when Ian decided to take a step back from day-to-day operations, his daughter Abi Lawson took the reins, continuing the family legacy with the same dedication and hands-on approach that our customers know and trust. Abi now leads the company.

At TCS, our story is one of family, experience, and trust, values that continue to shape everything we do today.
