Sia Abrasives: Pioneering Excellence Since 1867
From the very beginning, Sia Abrasives has been at the forefront of innovation in surface finishing. Founded in 1867 as a chemical factory, the company quickly recognized the growing demand for high-quality abrasives driven by the Industrial Revolution. By 1875, Sia had begun manufacturing emery paper and emery cloth at its current location in Switzerland—establishing itself as the country’s only producer of coated abrasives.
What started as a niche endeavor has since grown into one of the largest and most respected names in the industry. With over 140 years of expertise, Sia Abrasives is a global leader, known for its cutting-edge technology, extensive product range, and tailored solutions for every material and application.
