VSM · We know abrasivesQuality abrasives for the US
VSM is one of the world's leading manufacturers of coated abrasives, and the first choice, for many industrial metalworking and woodworking applications. With more than 150 years of experience, we understand abrasives like no one else.
Our specialized grinding solutions provide our customers with high stock removal rates and outstanding surface quality. It is these high-performing results, and a team of knowledgeable representatives, that distinguishes VSM from the rest.
We know abrasives because we understand them
We understand abrasives purely means that we really know what abrasives are all about. Take advantage of the high level of specific expertise VSM holds worldwide and of its experience based on the close cooperation it has with 60 manufacturers of grinding machines. Our expertise encompasses the development of important basic materials such as backing cloths, synthetic resins and abrasive grains in-house for the production of our abrasives. It extends to visiting our customers to analyse existing applications and to ensure the proper interaction between grinding machine and workpiece. That is what VSM stands for – its expertise, perfectly encapsulated in this one word. We benefit from our considerable experience to minimise production times, enhance surface quality and reduce production costs.
Our Technical Center (TC), at the company's headquarters in Hanover, Germany, provides multi-lingual product trainings, seminars on all aspects of grinding technology and comprehensive application testing for end users and dealers. more
