Superior Abrasives breaks ground on new facility

Superior Abrasives will break ground today on its new headquarters and production facility in Vandalia.

In February, the abrasive products manufacturer announced it was moving from 4800 Wadsworth Road in Harrison Twp. to the Stonequarry Crossings industrial park in Vandalia.

The company will build its new 84,000-square-foot manufacturing plant on a 12-acre lot at the corner of Peters Pike and Fieldstone Way. Construction is expected to take about 10 months.

Superior Abrasives President Lynne Henson said the company will invest about $6 million into the new building and related equipment.

Currently, Superior Abrasives has 85 full-time employees. The company hopes to hire 25 more workers over the next three years, officials said.
