A global partner for our industry, trade and dealer customers

VSM application engineers analyse the grinding processes at our customers all over the world and develop a grinding solution that is individually tailored to their applications. Nor does our individual VSM advice dry up once the sale is made: we make regular visits to our customers to build a long-lasting partnership.

Quality abrasives Made in Germany

Our strong vertical integration acts as a guarantee for the consistently high quality of all the abrasives we produce. Our quality assurance starts by inspecting the raw materials we receive. VSM also designs and produces all of the key preliminary products itself – from backing fabrics to synthetic resin bonds and abrasive grains. We are one of only a handful of abrasives manufacturers worldwide that operate their own cloth finishing plant. VSM has maintained ISO 9001 certification for many years as the basis for its quality assurance system.

We understand abrasives

We know abrasives. We understand abrasives. Benefit from our high level of industry expertise worldwide and the experience we have gained by working with over 60 grinding machine manufacturers. From the development of our own abrasive grain, cloth backings or synthetic resin bonds to the production of the finished abrasive, right through to its use by our customers and the interplay of grinding machine and workpiece. In a nutshell, that’s what VSM abrasives expertise is all about. We apply our extensive knowhow to minimise production times for our customers, improve the surface quality of the material being ground and reduce production costs.

In our VSM Competence Centre (CC) at the company’s head office in Hanover, we offer multilingual product training, technical abrasives seminars and comprehensive application testing for end users and dealers.
