Company Profile

When Experience Counts

How CITCO Helps You Improve Productivity & Reduce Costs

Let's face it--most cutting tools or grinding wheels in use today are compromises in terms of design and material to satisfy a wide range of applications and to maximize profitability for their manufacturers and suppliers. Consequently, in many cases, end users of these commodity tools and wheels sacrifice production throughput and tooling cost-per-part. CITCO and Gardner Abrasives offer an alternative: intelligently analyze the unique requirements of our customers' applications and rapidly deliver a tooling solution that is optimized for each job. Bottom line: a CITCO or Gardner custom engineered tool or wheel can help you meet productivity, quality and cost targets on your most challenging applications.

Rapid Cycle Engineered Solutions

CITCO and Gardner Abrasives are organized much like a highly efficient "job shop" in order to rapidly respond to customers' needs for high quality, cost effective tooling products for cutting and grinding applications. The program begins with a highly experienced team of product specialists whom analyze the details of your particular part, machine and process application. We use state-of-the-art CAD engineering programs to rapidly design and simulate performance of the finished products. Then we draw from a broad range of suppliers to select the best materials to satisfy the application parameters. This no-compromise approach ensures that the cutting tool, grinding wheel or dressing product you receive is best suited to your specific requirements. Finally, our in-house facilities employ the most advanced manufacturing and production control technology and skilled operators to instill the quality and reliability that our customers demand.
