President Lynne Henson stated that their primary reason for the location choice was to retain their employees.

The company moved from Wadsworth Road in Harrison Twp. Their old building was roughly 30,000 square feet. The new location is 100,000 square feet. Superior Abrasives makes coated abrasive products, typical for industrial applications. They employ roughly 85 people now, with plans to grow in the coming years.
