85 Years Old, 5 Years Young

rep_blogRex-Cut is celebrating its 85th year in business. Simultaneously we have reached our 5th year as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Company. Hitting these marks while we continue to grow has made 2013 a memorable year so far.

Rex-Cut began in 1928 when Edward Hurst invented the signature non-woven abrasive impregnated cotton fabric. Over time Rex-Cut designed premium products with the unique material and created full lines of abrasive products.

Another important year for Rex-Cut was 2008 when we became a 100% Employee owned ESOP company. The ESOP has had a very positive effect on the company, as it created broad-based ownership among employees, fostered an environment in which everyone understands their role in helping the improve the business and achieve the company’s objectives.

In recognition of these events, Rex-Cut celebrated on October 9, 2013. We sat down for lunch, played trivia gameas, and awarded employees with gifts.

We are honored to have served our customers for the last 85 years, and look forward to many more years of supplying the metalworking industry with premium abrasives!
