W Abrasives is now the leading brand for steel abrasives sold in North America.

We were formerly known in North American under Wheelabrator Abrasives, Panabrasive and National Metal Abrasive. All 3 names had a very strong history of  quality, reliability and unique customer service.
As we are investing more and more in creating value for our customers, we felt it important to gather all our efforts under the worldwide leading brand W Abrasives.

The North American Operations serve customers in the U.S.A., Canada and Mexico. There are 3 manufacturing facilities (Welland, Ontario / Bedford, Virginia / Waco, Texas) with the state of the art technology that has made Wheelabrator Allevard the world leader. All facilities implement the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to continuously improve the quality and consistency of the product and our processes.

We are focusing on providing solutions for our customers through our full time Technical Advisors.
The development of the Premium products on the North American continent has already proven to be a great success and their presence is rapidly increasing.

We are well represented throughout North America; we have sales offices in Montreal, Quebec and Monterrey, Mexico, along with many depots; we have Sales Managers for every main region; we have also a strong network of Distributors and Agents.

All this is very well summarized in our Mission Statement:
We exist to be the most valued solutions provider to steel abrasives customers thanks to highly competent and motivated people.
