History
Triggered by the increasing competitive and cost pressure in the course of globalisation, LUKAS pursued an offensive and rapid internationalisation strategy. In 1986/87, the Engelskirchen-based company took over a South African tool manufacturer. With the acquisition of a majority shareholding in Selco Tools (Pty.) Ltd., the location in Germiston, South Africa was the cornerstone of successful company globalisation.
LUKAS ABRASIVES is proud to be part of the entire LUKAS Group, which is at the forefront of a global industry.

Whether you just want to give your product the right shine or need to achieve defined technical surface characteristics: There are many good reasons to process a workpiece with polishing tools from LUKAS. For example, there are many sealing surfaces and fits in the automotive, pump and turbine construction and aerospace industries that need to be manufactured with the highest precision to ensure the end result is just right. Smoothly polished surfaces in the food and pharmaceutical industries guarantee hygienically clean working conditions. In tool and mould making, mould surfaces are polished to a mirror finish and the perfect result is transferred to the end product with every moulding. Due to the growing importance of fine finishing, LUKAS has developed a diverse range of polishing tools made from different raw materials, different grit combinations and in several degrees of hardness. LUKAS polishing tools are categorised into groups P1 to P7, depending on their intended use. These tools are available in the form of polishing discs, polishing pins and polishing rods for the various applications. You will find an overview in the diagram on the following page.
Our flexible sanding and polishing tools are made from abrasive cloth and non-woven abrasive cloth of selected qualities. They consist of a flexible backing coated with abrasive grit. Backings used: fabric, polyester, fleece, fibre Grit qualities used: Aluminium oxide (NK), silicon carbide (SIC), zirconium corundum (ZK), ceramic We offer our flexible grinding and polishing tools in a wide range of shapes and dimensions.
