For nearly 60 years, Uneeda has helped manufacturers across North America grind, sand, and finish better — one relationship at a time.
It started in 1967, when founder Herman Fuchs began distributing abrasive products to the wood and metalworking industries. His goal was simple: deliver a high-quality product, and build the kind of relationships that last. Six decades later, that founding principle still drives everything we do.
Today, Uneeda supplies abrasives and related products to industrial markets throughout North America — supporting the grinding, sanding, and finishing behind everyday products like furniture, automotive parts, marine equipment, kitchen cabinets, hardwood flooring, and more. We see every customer as unique, and our team is committed to meeting their needs with the same care Herman brought to the business on day one.
As Uneeda looks ahead, our focus remains the same: quality products, and relationships built to last.
Uneeda is Your Total Sanding Solution
Uneeda doesn't just manufacture the highest-quality coated abrasives in the industry — we back them with the best customer service and technical support you'll find anywhere. We're proud to be one of the few companies in the industry offering on-site technical services at no charge to every customer and distributor. Our team comes to your plant to consult, troubleshoot sanding issues, and help you run more efficiently — cutting sanding costs and improving performance.
Our headquarters in Spring Valley, NY houses a modern 100,000-square-foot manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution facility. A second warehouse in North Carolina helps us deliver faster to customers throughout the South.
