Who We Are

Calumet Abrasives was founded in 1945 by George Anderson, a chemical engineer who specialized in solving industrial application problems. Northwest Indiana was chosen due to its proximity to Chicago and for the high concentration of large industrial companies in the area. Calumet Abrasives quickly became known as a solution-driven manufacturer whose wheels outperformed the leading competitors.
