Why Choose Valley Grinding as Your Industrial Blade Partner
When selecting an industrial blade company to support you, there’s more than just blades to consider. Part of what keeps your production running in peak condition is blade sharpening, inventory management, training, troubleshooting, knife holder products and services, and more.
At Valley Grinding & Manufacturing, we Go Beyond Blades to provide comprehensive service for all your blade-related needs. Headquartered in Little Chute, Wisconsin, we’ve served the nation for over 30 years with American-made industrial blades plus services to support your slitting operations.
When evaluating the company that’s right for you, consider the following factors.
Industry expertise
Our seasoned team is made up of highly experienced employees who know the ins and outs of the slitting industry. Drawing from this industry know-how, we can help troubleshoot, recommend blades for your application and keep you up to date with the latest slitting techniques.
We also provide free, in-depth resources including our shear slitting training manual to maximize the efficiency and quality of your slitting process.
Fast service
The cost of downtime on your production floor adds up quickly. Our quick turnaround for blade sharpening helps minimize your downtime with a three-day in-house service. Or when urgent needs arise, get same or next-day expedited blade and die sharpening with our nationwide FasTrack service.
Location is another important factor when choosing an industrial blade company, as proximity helps provide quick service. Our four nationwide locations ensure prompt pickup and delivery for blade sharpening.
