VSM customers profit from our industry leading expertise and outstanding know-how of our research and development and production, all utilized by our trained application engineers and international sales force.

Grain technology
Excellent abrasives are characterised by a perfect interaction of material, binder and abrasive grain. VSM doesn't leave anything to chance! To meet the high standards of quality which the company sets itself, VSM designs and develops its own advanced abrasive grain.

Application know-how
The VSM philosophy is to find the best abrasive to suit the particular application. With over 200 customised product lines and a global network of application engineers, we can find the ideal solution for virtually any sanding or grinding challenge.

Production technology
Our expertise in production technology is closely linked to the site in Hanover. For the last 150 years, VSM has set standards in the production of flexible coated abrasives. A recipe for success which has convinced our customers worldwide.
VSM customers can always expect to receive abrasives with a constantly high level of quality. VSM uses its own intermediate products, cutting-edge production technology and multi-level quality inspection.

Product quality
In the VSM in-house quality assessment laboratory, regular end checks are conducted on products - from microscopic examinations to grinding tests on in-house test facilities.

Intermediate product quality
Our quality promise starts by inspecting the raw materials we use. To be on the safe side, we produce our own finishes, binding systems and abrasive grits.

Production quality
A climate encapsulated spreading device, laser-controlled weight measurement, exact web guidance and control system and multi-level, protective drying facilities are just some of the factors that guarantee success in the production of high-quality abrasives. The result is a 'made in Germany' VSM quality.
