Van Moppes India Super Abrasives Manufacturing

For over six decades, Van Moppes India has stood at the forefront of super abrasives manufacturing in India. From its founding in 1962 to becoming a key part of the global Saint-Gobain Abrasives network, the company has consistently delivered precision-engineered diamond and CBN products to India's most demanding industries.

As the Authorized Channel Partner (EAST) for Van Moppes India, Shriramjee Industries brings this legacy of excellence directly to steel plants and industrial facilities across eastern India. Here's the story behind the brand that powers precision.

The Van Moppes Story: From 1962 to Today

L. M. Van Moppes Diamond Tools India Pvt Ltd was established in 1962 as a joint venture between two respected names: the Amalgamations Group, one of India's largest industrial conglomerates, and L. M. Van Moppes & Sons UK, a British pioneer in diamond tool manufacturing. This partnership brought world-class diamond tool technology to India at a time when the country's industrial sector was rapidly expanding.

In a major strategic milestone, L. M. Van Moppes & Sons was subsequently acquired by Saint-Gobain Abrasives — one of the world's largest and most innovative abrasives manufacturers. This acquisition strengthened Van Moppes India's access to global R&D, advanced manufacturing technologies, and an international quality framework.
