Metal Industries

Precision and versatility: In the Metal Industries Division, we focus on developing efficient, high-precision and versatile tools for our customers that cover a wide range of applications.
For example, our customers in the steel industry benefit from impressively large super-thin cut-off wheels with a diameter of up to 2 metres, while at the same time we offer high-precision, high-tech grinding applications that bring processes to μm-accurate results. With our wide range of system solutions, we support various industries and also offer a comprehensive range of products for cutting, grinding and surface finishing through our industrial trade business. Our customers come from a wide range of sectors, from large shipyards and foundries to small small locksmiths, and we pride ourselves on being able to fulfil all individual requirements.

An international network of expertise

Our customers also benefit from an extensive network of highly specialised companies within the Tyrolit Group. All of the Group's affiliated subsidiaries combine a wealth of expertise and experience to provide our customers with first-class solutions worldwide. This diversity allows us to operate under different names around the world, always backed by Tyrolit's proven quality.

Each of these companies brings unique strengths and capabilities to the partnership, enabling us to offer a wide range of solutions and fulfil individual requirements. This close co-operation not only secures our position as the world's leading supplier of abrasives and precision tools, but also strengthens our ability to respond to our customers' needs and develop innovative products.

Awards for quality and performance

Our products and services have already received numerous awards:

  • Bosch Global Supplier Award

  • German Design Award (for Tyrolit Life products)

  • klimaaktiv-award from the Federal Ministry

  • Schaeffler Supplier Award

Cerabond X
Feel the power of making

The Cerabond X product family sets global standards in the quality of ceramic abrasives.

By optimising the combination of high-quality ceramic grain and an advanced bonding concept, we offer a wide range of products that guarantee the highest quality when processing steel and stainless steel. From cutting and grinding discs to sustainable natural fibre discs, we offer solutions for various applications that speed up work processes and increase safety.

Tyrolit Power in the composite industry

The growing demand across industries for materials that can withstand high loads while enabling lightweight construction has contributed greatly to the spread and popularity of composite materials.

Our Tyrolit Power assortment is specially designed for the use with composites. This range offers longer lifetimes and efficient machining, including tools for cutting, grinding, drilling, and milling for various machines and robots.

ALPHA technology The evolution of abrasive technology

Our Mira, Strato, and Viper grinding wheel series have long set precision manufacturing standards. We have further developed these into the ALPHA series, featuring our in-house blue sintered aluminium oxide rods.

ALPHA products offer improved self-sharpening, higher removal rates, and optimised grinding processes. With over 500 international patents, we ensure top quality and transparent manufacturing.

Strengthening e-mobility and thinking ahead

E-mobility and the associated reorganisation of production are presenting car manufacturers with new challenges. The grinding of special components in particular poses special challenges, as the lowest possible shape and position tolerances as well as the best surface finishes are essential for the production of high-tech parts for electric motors. Decades of experience in the automotive industry enable us to act as a competent partner in the transition to e-mobility.

The Euro 7 emissions standard, which will apply from 2025, will drive a significant reduction in particulate matter pollution. In addition, there are regulations for permissible brake wear and tyres, which also affect e-vehicles. Due to these new regulations, new production technologies are needed for the economical and efficient grinding of brake discs. The design of hard-coated brake discs will enable manufacturers to achieve an optimum combination of first-class braking properties and minimal abrasion in the future, which will directly result in a reduction in particulate pollution.

Highest precision for medical technology

An ageing society is increasingly focusing on medical technology, making procedures like hip and knee operations routine.

Tyrolit ensures consistent quality with innovative grinding solutions, sharpening injection needles, and expediting the machining of hip and knee joints. Our tools also enhance surgical instrument safety, offering coolcut wheels for scalpels and elastic or fleece-bonded tools for superior surface quality.

Sustainability and innovation in production

We not only strive for technical progress, but also focus on environmental compatibility in our production processes. By switching to more sustainable materials and more energy-efficient processes, we have not only been able to reduce CO2 emissions, but also improve the qualities and efficiency of our products. With leading technologies like ALPHA, we offer our customers not only technological progress, but also sustainability and efficiency in one product.
