About Us
Our
parent company, Barker Brothers, Inc., was
established in 1911. We are a family owned
company that is currently run by the third
generation. For years we were a small cloth
buffing wheel manufacturer supplying local
customers in Brooklyn, NY. Manufacturing unique,
proprietary buffing wheels that no other
manufacturer could duplicate leap frogged Barker
Brothers from just another buffing wheel
manufacturer to one of the leading manufacturers
in the entire industry!
In 1977 BARDO ABRASIVES INC., was established
with 1 sanding wheel product and a few satin
finishing wheels made from Non-Woven Abrasive to
offer. We supplied sanding wheels to the wooden
moulding and cabinet door manufacturing industry
and satin finish wheels for the metal finishing
industry.
Incorporating the same marketing philosophy of
manufacturing unique, proprietary products to
significantly reduce LARGE companies finishing
costs went into high gear when Bardo Abrasives
became one of only the THREE manufacturers of
convolute deburring & finishing wheels in
1990!
We are not in the wheel copying business! We do
NOT attempt to "copy" the wheel that is
presently being used, and save you 5%.
That is NOT how we operate!
You will find it refreshing the way we look at a
few basic parameters of the application such as
surface being worked on, machinery being used,
speed of that machinery and most importantly we
ASK you what do you NEED that wheel to be able
to do! Then, we MANUFACTURE the wheel that you
need! As opposed to copying what you
already get.
Featuring an innovative Research & Development
Department, Bardo Abrasives Inc. is constantly
improving its products, and product offering.
Our deburring wheels started with formula #1,
followed by formula #2, and so on. In 2003, we
are currently developing a wheel with formula
#373!! We are not a large conglomerate, and
therefore we are able to offer a much WIDER
variety of wheels than any other manufacturer in
the entire United States!
You will enjoy working with Bardo Abrasives
because you get the best of two worlds! We
manufacture a superior quality deburring wheel
that more than satisfies the shop using a
general purpose deburring wheel that is used on
a bench grinder. However, where we truly shine
is in our ability to "tweak" wheels to meet your
satisfaction! We do it with a turn around time
that will pleasantly surprise you! We have the
ability to customize a wheel for a specific
large application! If we have to, we will
develop a product for a specific finishing
application! We feature wheel products in OD's
starting at 4" all the way up to 16" and with
face widths ranging from 1/4" through 36", in
increments of 1/4"! We manufacture wheels using
abrasive grains that include Silicon Carbide,
Aluminum Oxide and Garnet!
We are not a conglomerate, but we're not a
fly-by-night organization either! We own a
75,000 sq. foot factory in Ridgewood, NY, where
we have 100 plant employees, a sales and
administrative office, five direct sales
application's experts on the road and several
Manufacturer's Agents throughout this great
country; We supply cloth buffing wheels,
deburring & finishing wheels and sanding wheels
to Hong Kong, China, India, Malaysia, Korea,
Europe and other parts of the world!
We
pride ourselves on the extremely high level of
service that we supply to our customers! We
don't have a gammet of rules that you must abide
by to work with our company, we work WITH you!
Afterall, we realize that we must work together
with you to be successful!
Our company goal is to be able to significantly
reduce finishing costs on applications that
include polishing operations with buffing wheels
for mirror finishes, deburring, blending & satin
finishing operations on metal surfaces and knife
mark removal, defuzzing, denibbing, sealer
sanding and scuffing U.V. between coats for
adhesion for the lineal moulding sanding
industry! When you are ready to work with us to
devise a product for your application, know that
we will not stop trying until we have satisfied
you completely!
