After 1978, VSM established VSM Abrasives Corporation in the United States. In 1991, VSM established its own technical abrasive training center in Hannover. As an expert in cutting and surface finishing, VSM offers tailor-made product solutions and a range of customized products for strong partnerships.
VSM’s business extends globally, spanning three continents with Hannover as its center, and continues to expand in the UK, Oakville, Canada, Budapest, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, and China.
Operated in partnership with the two largest shareholders, STARCKE and PFERD Group, the company focuses on credibility, consistency, reliability, and durability. At the same time, the company has achieved above-average sales returns in this field.
