Master Adds Grinding Machine Agency to Abrasives Line

Master Abrasives is supplementing its abrasives and tool services offering with a range of precision grinding machine tools manufactured by Micromatic Grinding Technologies of India, of which it has become sole UK representative.

Micromatic Grinding Technologies managing director, Kapil Dhand, states: “Selling precision grinding machines requires a deep understanding of not only the machine tool but the application itself. We are excited to have found a suitable partner in Master Abrasives who understand the application aspect very well, being sellers of abrasive products for nearly 50 years in the UK market. I am sure that this partnership will add immense value for customers by providing competitive and optimised turnkey solutions for their grinding process needs.”

The Micromatic range includes hydraulic and CNC cylindrical outer diameter, inner diameter and centreless grinding machines.

Says Paul Batson, managing director of Master Abrasives: “Our aim is to provide solutions for every aspect of the grinding process, whether it’s the grinding wheel, dresser, coolant delivery system, or now the grinding machine. Being appointed the UK representative for Micromatic grinding machine tools allows us to offer a one-stop complete solution. Micromatic is a professional company with over 40 years’ experience that has similar positive work ethics and approach to customers as us. I believe we are an excellent fit and by working closely together our customers will see the benefits. We plan to install a machine at our facility in Daventry later this year to be able to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of buying a Micromatic machine.”

Master Abrasives’ product offering includes conventional grinding wheels, diamond dressers and superabrasive products. It is sole agent for Swiss manufacturer Meister Abrasives.
