From those beginnings, we developed the most advanced range of garnet abrasives for blasting and waterjet cutting, and built a global supply chain dedicated to maximizing performance and minimizing costs for our customers.

“In the GMA ToughBlast trial we completed blasting in one and a half days instead of four, and just over 2 bags were used instead of the 8-10 bags of slag estimated.”
