NEW YORK – Metcar (Metallized Carbon Corporation), a global leader in the manufacture of advanced carbon graphite solutions for severe-environment lubrication, proudly announces its official partnership with America250 as a Programming Partner. This prestigious collaboration aligns with the company’s landmark 80th anniversary, marking eight decades of continuous technological innovation that has propelled critical global industries around the world.
Since its founding in 1945, Metcar has stood at the absolute forefront of mechanical and materials engineering. Initially focusing on metal-impregnated materials, the company evolved to engineer self-lubricating materials capable of thriving where traditional oils and greases completely fail. Joining forces with America250, the national nonpartisan organization established by Congress to lead the nation’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independencethe nationwide initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States, provides a powerful platform to celebrate Metcar's deep-rooted history of manufacturing excellence and its ongoing commitment to tomorrow’s technological breakthroughs.
Eighty Years of Defying the Limits of Friction
Metcar's self-lubricating materials combine a structurally resilient carbon matrix with the natural lubricating properties of graphite. Specifically engineered to maintain mechanical operations under severe conditions, these solutions avoid catastrophic equipment failures where liquid lubricants evaporate, freeze, or decompose.
Over its 80-year legacy, Metcar has achieved milestones that underline its position as an industry pioneer:
▶ Critical Industry Support: Metcar services essential industrial sectors as well as global aerospace and defense markets, collaborating closely with top industry companies.
▶ Uncompromising Quality & Compliance: The company maintains stringent certifications including FDA approvals, water-standard regulations like WRAS, ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), and ISO 45001 (Health & Safety) management systems, alongside ITAR registration for national defense readiness.
