Weiler
Weiler Abrasives has a distinguished history that dates back to 1879 when Franz Swaty pioneered the production of mineral-bonded abrasives in Europe. This legacy continued in 1898 when Joseph E. Weiler began manufacturing polishing brushes in Pforzheim, Germany. In 1944, Karl E. Weiler expanded the family tradition by founding the Weiler Brush Company in a converted chicken coop on Long Island, New York, establishing a strong foothold in the abrasives industry.
Today, headquartered in Cresco, Pennsylvania, Weiler Abrasives offers an extensive range of high-performance abrasive products, including grinding wheels, cutting tools, and industrial brushes. Their product lineup features solutions for diverse applications, such as surface preparation, metal fabrication, and finishing processes. Weiler is particularly renowned for its specialized products like flap discs, which deliver superior performance and longer life, and its premium grinding wheels that ensure efficient material removal and smooth finishes.
With a focus on innovation and quality, Weiler Abrasives continually enhances its product offerings through advanced manufacturing techniques and strategic acquisitions, including Rei Abrasives in Brazil and SwatyComet in Europe.
