Our Team
Our Beginnings
Prioritising Partnership
With a focus on tailored solutions and serving client needs through a customer-first philosophy, Shannon Abrasives has carved out a reputation as an industrial diamond supplier that tool manufacturers can depend on.
History In The Making
In the mid-1980s with decades of industrial diamond experience gained both at home and abroad, Greg Carey could see an industry changing. Standard, off-the-shelf products that were being supplied by the more established companies were not meeting the needs of smaller clients who required a more customized approach. Similarly, bigger customers were also moving towards tailored solutions and developing more flexible supply-chain partnerships with their industrial diamond suppliers.
Client-First Model
Greg recognised that if suppliers took the time to fully understand the needs of clients and get a deeper insight into how their products were being used, solutions could be tailored to meet precise operational needs. This in turn would lead to trusted, solid working relationships with these smaller clients. At the same time, this client-first model could be applied to larger customers too who would benefit from working with a more agile, flexible supplier. In 1987, he co-founded Shannon Abrasives to meet this need in the market.
Professionalism, Honesty And Reliability
Nearly 40 years on and Shannon Abrasives has established a global presence, supplying industrial diamond products to industrial tool manufacturers worldwide. While the industrial diamond world has radically changed with the arrival of digitization and the rise of lab-grown synthetic diamonds, the same core qualities remain important to our success – professionalism, honesty, and reliability.
