OUR BRAND JOURNEY & INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE
Established in Osaka since 1953, Fuji Grinding Wheel has pioneered the Japanese industrial abrasives sector. From inventing Japan’s first angle grinder to building a premium global B2B distribution network, we remain dedicated to heavy-duty precision, safety, and manufacturing excellence for foundries, shipyards, and demanding metalworking environments worldwide.
The journey began in Osaka with the establishment of two core specialized manufacturing plants in Japan, engineered specifically to meet the heavy industrial demands of post-war reconstruction.
- Nagano Plant: Focused on advanced angle grinders and high-frequency power tools.- Toyama Plant: Dedicated to premium resin-bonded cutting discs and heavy-duty grinding wheels.
Original Japan Plant (1953)Kosoku (an integral part of the FUJI Group) successfully developed Japan's very first electric angle grinder, setting the national technical benchmark for industrial surface preparation and metal dressing tools.
Japan's First Angle Grinder (1955)To meet surging global demand while maintaining our Japanese brand integrity, we expanded our own-factory production footprint with a dedicated facility in Qingdao, China. This plant operates strictly under Japanese JIS quality control systems, ensuring every resin abrasive product delivers premium performance without middleman markups.
Certified Own-Factory ProductionKosoku Electric officially merged into the Fuji Group. This powerful integration combined our advanced abrasive material expertise with industry-leading High-Frequency (HF) power tool engineering, including our renowned 250Hz, 300Hz, and 400Hz induction motor technologies for continuous heavy-duty use.
Manufacturing SynergyEishin officially became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuji Seito. This merger synergized our abrasive expertise with Eishin's specialized surface preparation tools (such as the "Kogera" needle scraper series), significantly enhancing our solution offerings for the marine and shipbuilding sectors.
