As Hermes abrasives collapsed into administration earlier this year. Mirka Abrasives has taken to buying their technical division securing the jobs for workers as well as adding technical bonded products and manufacturing to their already strong position in coated abrasives. The move comes with delight to the employees of Hermes as well as to those at Mirka who can now boast not only a leading range of coated abrasives (such as wide belts and sanding discs) but also now opens up Mirka to offering a rounded portfolio of abrasive products.
