REAL. RUGGED. READY.

Virginia Abrasives’ roots date back to the early 1970’s, when a hard rock garnet abrasive mining business in the Adirondack mountains of New York decided to invest in the sandpaper manufacturing business.

In the late 70’s, Virginia Abrasives identified the equipment rental market as a target opportunity for wood floor sanding abrasives. Fairly quickly, the company became a major supplier to the industry, with a specialized product and service offering that met the needs of the equipment rental dealer – package quantity, product performance, lead times, competitive pricing, and personalized, world class service for which the company remains well known.

Over time, the company has expanded its product portfolio to include a vast assortment of cutting, finishing, surface preparation, and floor care products and solutions. This includes diamond abrasives for concrete and asphalt cutting and surface preparation, flooring tools and fasteners for installing hardwood flooring, concrete power trowel blades, as well as a full line of construction equipment – high speed and walk behind saws, tile saws, core drills, grinders and dust control vacuum systems.
