History of Nihon Grinding Wheel Co., Ltd.

The company was founded in January 1921 to take over management of Sakurayama Kogyosho, which had been manufacturing alundum in the Nakano area of Tokyo since 1918. The company name was changed to Nihon Grinding Wheel at that time. In the over 100 years since our founding, we have leveraged proprietary expertise that is unrivaled by other firms and have garnered major acclaim for our work.
In 1935, the company was formalized as a joint-stock company. In May 1945, however, the plant was completely lost to an air raid in the midst of WWII.
Following WWII, the company set about to bringing the main Tokyo plant back online, and some manufacturing operations resumed. In April 1949, the company was incorporated as a limited company. In 1955, it was designated as a JIS plant. In February 1971, seeking to streamline operations, the plant was relocated to Mitsukaido-shi (present-day Joso-shi) in Ibaraki Prefecture.
