At Weiler Abrasives

We believe in being a strong corporate citizen which starts with our company values serving as the foundation of everything we do. Those values are Integrity, Customer Focused, Accountability, Learning & Competence, and Passionate. We believe that we are at our very best when we focus on others — specifically, our co-workers, our customers and the local communities in which we operate. We value our ties to the 3C's (Customers, Community, Co-workers) and work hard to be a good corporate citizen and neighbor by contributing to the growth of the local economy, supporting social services, and protecting our environment.
