Tyrolit acquires Egeli Egesan to expand abrasives portfolio

Austria-based Tyrolit has acquired Egeli Egesan Abrasives. In a highly competitive market, Tyrolit has identified a gap for an additional range of products outside of its current brands, targeted at cost-conscious professionals; this identification has led to the new Tyrolit Egesan brand. Founded 50 years ago, Egeli Egesan is a leader in the fields of cut-off and deburring wheels, coated abrasives and abrasive tools for various applications.

With an initial range of cut-off wheels, grinding wheels, flap and fibre discs launching onto the UK market in May, Tyrolit brand Egesan has already readily been warmly received by customers. An extended range of bonded and coated products is due to make their debut later this year.

Speaking on behalf of Tyrolit, Pete Dufty sales director for Tyrolit UK, said: “This acquisition allows Tyrolit to extend our product portfolio, providing us with additional access to the production of coated abrasives, as well as added comprehensive know-how. This opens up more opportunity for Tyrolit to provide an attractive price performance ratio for cost-conscious customers and a complete range of products from a single source.”
