In 2024, FUJI Grinding Wheel initiated a strategic partnership with Pio Ship System (Japan) to develop overseas markets. The collaboration marked a step toward making FUJI abrasives and industrial grinding equipment more accessible to customers outside Japan.
The aim is to connect FUJI's manufacturing experience with overseas customer requirements, from grinding wheels and cutting discs for metal fabrication to equipment used in shipyards and foundries. This announcement records the start of that expansion programme; later market activities are linked separately below.
FUJI Grinding Wheel has specialized in industrial abrasives since 1953. Its experience in resin-bonded grinding and cutting wheels provides the foundation for discussions with overseas buyers seeking products for steelwork, casting cleanup and maintenance.
FUJI applies Japanese manufacturing expertise across its product range, including relevant warm-press processes, also described as hot pressing. Product origin and specifications must be confirmed by item: Japanese technology and quality management should not be confused with a claim that every FUJI product is made in Japan.
International customers require different products for different operations. FUJI's range allows the discussion to begin with the workpiece material and task, then progress to wheel dimensions, grade and equipment compatibility.
Supplying both abrasives and equipment supports application selection, but compatibility is not automatic simply because the brand matches. Confirm wheel diameter, bore, maximum permitted speed and operation alongside the grinder's specification.
The cooperation with Pio Ship System (Japan) is intended to support overseas market development and communication with prospective industrial customers. Pio-Ship's marine-industry connections provide a context for introducing FUJI products to shipbuilding, repair and related metalworking businesses.
Customers can contact FUJI to discuss the appropriate sales contact for their market, product availability, sample evaluation and order requirements. Distribution arrangements, technical support and delivery schedules should be confirmed for the destination and product concerned.

A successful introduction into a new market depends on suitability in the customer's workshop, not only on a product catalogue. A useful evaluation covers:
These details help FUJI propose a relevant sample or specification and allow the buyer to assess practical cost per task before a wider order. Performance depends on the selected product and operating conditions; no single wheel is the best choice for every material or operation.
Follow-up context added October 1, 2026: The following reports describe activities after the original 2024 announcement and illustrate how overseas customer engagement has developed.
Provide the material, task, current product specification, machine model, quantity and delivery country. FUJI can discuss suitable products and the applicable sales contact, then confirm sample availability and supply terms.
Manufacturing origin depends on the product. FUJI has Japanese manufacturing expertise and production operations in Japan and China. Confirm the origin and relevant documentation for the specific item ordered.
A replacement must match the installed voltage, frequency, phase, connector configuration and available power capacity, as well as the grinding task. Send the existing tool and supply nameplates for assessment. A 300Hz tool is not automatically interchangeable with a 250Hz or 400Hz model.
Match wheel dimensions, mounting, marked maximum speed and intended operation to the grinder. Then choose the abrasive specification for the workpiece material, required removal and finish.
Prospective partners can provide their market, customer sectors, product interests and service capabilities. FUJI can discuss the relevant arrangements; territory coverage and authorization must be agreed directly.
Discuss grinding wheels, cutting discs or industrial grinding equipment for your market. Send your application and purchasing requirements to FUJI.
