In a highly competitive market, Tyrolit said it has identified a gap for an additional range of products outside of their current brands, targeted at cost conscious professionals; this identification has led to the new Tyrolit Egesan brand.
Founded 50 years ago, the company said Egeli Egesan is a leader in the fields of cut-off and deburring wheels, coated abrasives and abrasive tools for various applications, with an excellent reputation among its customers.
With an initial range of cut-off wheels, grinding wheels,flap and fibre discs launching onto the UK market in May, Tyrolit brand Egesan is already readily welcomed by customers; with an extended range of bonded and coated products due to make their debut later in the year.
Pete Dufty, sales director for Tyrolit UK, explained: “This acquisition allows Tyrolit to extend our product portfolio, providing us with additional access to the production of coated abrasives, as well as added comprehensive know-how.
"This opens up more opportunity for Tyrolit to provide an attractive price performance ratio for cost conscious customers and a complete range of products from a single source.”
The extended range of Tyrolit Egesan to look out for over the coming months include:
- Bonded abrasives (cutting & grinding discs for foundry, stainless steel, metal and stone)
- Vitrified grinding wheels (bench grinding wheels, cylindrical and surface grinding wheels, saw sharpening wheels, scythe stones and cup wheels)
- Coated abrasives (flap discs, fibre discs, DA sander discs, abrasive belts and rolls (including wide belts), waterproof abrasive sandpapers and abrasive flap wheels)
- Non-woven (flap wheels, mop discs and abrasive sponge wheels).
