Advancements in
Non-Woven Abrasives
Most economists say the United States industrial outlook for
2014 will show modest growth throughout the year.
While this is good news, industrial manufacturers across
various industries—from aerospace and transportation to
energy, maintenance/repair operations and metal fabrica-
tion job shops—must look for ways to increase productivity
while maximizing overall efficiency to keep operating costs
down.
The question is: How can industrial manufacturers meet
higher demand without increasing overhead?
Metal fabrication processes such as surface preparation and
finishing are good places to start. The processes include light
stock removal, blending, deburring, preparation, cleaning and
Abrasive technology is
streamlined for metal
fabrication applications.
