Micon Products

What Micon Products does

Micon Products Ltd. is a Vancouver-based, privately held manufacturer and distributor of professional stone working tools, founded in 1960 and operating from Granville Island. The company serves the mining, construction, masonry, and quarry industries across Canada and the United States through a dealer network supplemented by direct phone, fax, and email sales (toll-free 1-866-683-1285). It runs an integrated product portfolio of two brands: its own Micon line of hand-forged, through-hardened carbide-tipped hammers, finishing hammers, rock splitting hammers, wedges and shims, and ground support tools, plus the Rebit of Sweden line of carbide hand chisels and pneumatic carving tools, which Micon has distributed in North America since Rebit's 1945 founding.

The company's technical core is hand-forged tooling combined with Swedish tungsten carbide inserts brazed deep into steel bodies, enabling multiple sharpening cycles and extended tool life in granite and hard stone applications. Its drill steel offering covers the full R25/R32/T38/T45/T51 thread systems with matched rods, bits, couplers, striker bars, and adapters, and it stocks complementary products such as Canadian-made cone-shaped drill hole plugs, scaling bars, and hollow core anchor system components. Specialty and custom tool manufacturing is offered in small or large quantities to customer specification, with quote-based pricing and Visa/Mastercard payment accepted by phone, fax, or email.

Micon's business model is straightforward one-time hardware sales with a quote-based pricing model and a pay-as-you-go billing cadence. Revenue is generated across four primary B2B segments — mining, construction, masonry, and quarry — plus a secondary persona of professional and hobbyist stone carvers served by the Rebit line. Marketing is predominantly direct: a comprehensive website with PDF catalogs, a toll-free North American phone line, email enquiries, and a dealer network. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no app or digital platform, reflecting a stable, traditional industrial distribution and light-manufacturing profile that has operated continuously for over 60 years.
