Norton Sandpaper

Norton is one of the world's most recognized names in the abrasives industry, with a legacy spanning back to the late 19th century. Founded in Worcester, Massachusetts, the brand revolutionized manufacturing through the development of specialized grinding wheels and sandpaper. Over the decades, it has expanded its product line to include diverse materials such as ceramic, aluminum oxide, and diamond-coated abrasives used in both industrial and home DIY settings.

Today, Norton is a flagship brand under the Saint-Gobain group, a French multinational powerhouse. While its historical roots remain firmly in the United States, its manufacturing footprint has expanded globally to meet international demand. The brand's focus on innovation is now managed through Saint-Gobain's Surface Solutions division, which integrates advanced material science to produce high-performance sanding and finishing products used worldwide.
