Since 1928, Rex-Cut Abrasives has been a leading force in advancing precision and excellence in the abrasives industry. Our unwavering dedication is evident in the superior quality of our products, the expertise of our staff, and our unwavering focus on delivering exceptional customer service.
An ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) is an employee benefit plan that gives an employee ownership, or shares in the company where they work.
Rex-Cut became an ESOP in 2008, when the current owners sold the company to its employees. This decision was made in an effort to give back to the company's valued employees, and ensure that the company was in the hands of the people who cherished it the most.
At Rex-Cut, we have treasured employees who are instrumental in our development and sustainability. Giving back to them via ESOP is just ONE way to make our employees feel seen, heard, valued, and appreciated.
“Employee ownership provides an opportunity for our employees to share in the success and growth of the company. Our culture is such that we involve ALL employees in the process of developing strategic and operational goals for the business. Including every employee in the planning process is the critical key to our continued growth and future sustainability.”

Rex-Cut was derived from a subsidiary company of the pharmaceutical giant “Rexall”, called United Cotton Products. Founder Edward Hurst produced cotton based products for Rexall until he invented abrasive embedded cotton fiber fabric in 1928.
From 1928 to 1970 Rex-Cut sold their abrasive embedded cotton fiber material as a raw-material for other companies to convert into abrasive products.
