You'll want to add Virginia Abrasives to your product line when you learn more about our customer service. Our roots date back to the early 1970’s, when a hard rock garnet abrasive mining business in the Adirondack mountains of New York decided to invest in the sandpaper manufacturing business. 

WE ARE: Real. Rugged. Ready.

In the late 70’s, Virginia Abrasives identified the equipment rental market as a target opportunity for wood floor sanding abrasives. Fairly quickly, the company became a major supplier to the industry, with a specialized product and service offering that met the needs of the equipment rental dealer – package quantity, product performance, lead times, competitive pricing, and personalized, world class service for which the company remains well known.

Over time, the company has expanded its product portfolio to include a vast assortment of cutting, finishing, surface preparation, and floor care products and solutions. This includes diamond abrasives for concrete and asphalt cutting and surface preparation, flooring tools and fasteners for installing hardwood flooring, concrete power trowel blades, as well as a full line of construction equipment – high speed and walk behind saws, tile saws, core drills, grinders and dust control vacuum systems.

Today, Virginia Abrasives’ manufacturing facility remains in history-rich Petersburg, VA. With extensive inventory of thousands of products, Virginia Abrasives is able to ship orders same-day to thousands of independent dealers, national accounts and hardware cooperatives, with most orders delivering in 3 business days or less. 

Virginia Abrasives also feels that investing in the human resources to support our excellent customers is critical. The company maintains an extensive network of manufacturers’ representatives nationwide, as well as regional sales managers, inside sales representatives and world-class customer service representatives, covering the U.S. with this team of roughly 50 sales and service professionals.
