Saint-Gobain Abrasives have established two leading brands that are synonymous with diamond products for the construction industry.
The CLIPPER brand covers a range of machinery including masonry saws, floor saws, tile saws and core drills.
The NORTON brand covers the consumable diamond products, used on the CLIPPER machines,
including laser welded diamond blades and core bits.
Saint-Gobain Abrasives is at the forefront of technical developments of machinery and diamond tools for the sawing, drilling and cutting of building materials. In the early eighties, NORTON revolutionised the construction and building industry by the development of laser welding diamond segments to the steel core, allowing the products to be used dry for the first time on a wide range of construction materials. The introduction of laser welded diamond blades greatly increased safety and made the products more Versatile in the applications they could be used on.
NORTON has continually developed their diamond products ensuring that the NORTON products are at the forefront of performance, cutting faster and lasting longer than competitive products, resulting in reduced user costs whilst increasing safety.
