Title
Pacific Grinding Wheel Co.
Description
Pacific Grinding Wheel Company was established in Everett, Washington (U.S.A.) in 1898 as Pacific Emery Wheel Company by Mr. Anton Foss, Mr. Martin Johnson and Mr. P. Lee. Mr. Foss, who had the major interest, came from Norway. Seeing an opportunity, he established the business to supply grinding wheels to the lumbering industry for sharpening saws, planer knives, etc. The processes used for bonding the grinding wheels were the "Shellac" and "Silicate" processes.
In 1904 Mr. G. H. Kravik purchased the interests of Mr. Foss and subsequently the interests of the other partners. The name was changed to Pacific Corundum Wheel Works and in 1925 the Company incorporated under this name.
Business was very slow during the 1920's depression. In 1930 the Company began using a synthetic resin bond in the manufacture of grinding wheels and high speed snagging wheels for the foundry industry. Business began to improve.
