Carborundum Universal (CUMI) has commenced commercial production of its Cutting and Grinding wheels (Thin wheel) at its Hosur facility. In 2023, the CUMI Group acquired the manufacturing lines, technology and brand of DRONCO GmbH, Germany. These manufacturing lines have been relocated and commissioned at CUMI India’s Hosur facility. With the commissioning of this new production facility, CUMI India’s total annual cutting and grinding wheel manufacturing capacity will increase from 45 million wheels to over 90 million wheels.

The products manufactured at this facility will cater to a wide range of industrial applications including fabrication, general engineering and construction. The plant has been established with an investment of Rs 83 crore and, at peak capacity utilization, is expected to generate a turnover of Rs 160 crore.

The unique features of this plant include the state-of-the-art mixing unit with SCADA based Process controls, automated press lines integrated with unmanned oven handling and curing systems (U-Lines) and an ambient control system that ensures stability in the raw material characteristics. These features enable consistent product performance while strengthening cost competitiveness. The plant has also received a certification from Organization for the Safety of Abrasives (oSa), worldwide protected trademark certifying that cutting and grinding tools meet the highest safety standards.

Carborundum Universal manufactures and sells mainly Abrasives, Ceramics (Industrial Ceramics, Refractories) and Electro-minerals. CUMI pioneered the manufacture of coated and bonded abrasives in India, besides super refractories, electro minerals, industrial ceramics and ceramic fibres.
