Non-Woven Cotton Fiber Abrasives Focus Reaffirmed by Employee-Owned Rex-Cut

Rex Cut Products, Inc. announced a strategic rebranding commitment to build their cotton fiber abrasives product line. The firm has been manufacturing non-woven cotton fiber abrasive products since the 1920s and provides a broad product line which is sold worldwide.

Rex-Cut® Abrasives is going to be the new name of the company which makes a complete line of cotton reinforced products including Type 1 straight sided abrasive wheels, Type 27 depressed center wheels, mounted points and wheels, and hand finishing sticks. Capable of grinding, blending, deburing, and finishing in one operation, they expose fresh abrasives as they work and provide smooth, chatter-free performance.

Employee owned 100% since 2008, Rex-Cut® Abrasives grinding and finishing products are made in America and used in stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, and exotic metals fabrication in a wide range of industries. According to Bob Costa, VP, “Changing from Rex-Cut Products to Rex-Cut® Abrasives is more than simply a new brand name. It also includes more than $100,000.00 investments in equipment to continue our market leadership.”

But Gelinas, who actually had a part-time job at Rex-Cut in high school, and Director of Human Resources Maria A.
