Business Data International Inc., Montreal, published the English-language China Abrasives Directory 2015, which is now available.

The directory (ISBN: 978-0-9939657-1-5) lists about 1,200 Chinese manufacturers and suppliers of abrasive products and materials. The abrasive types listed include bonded abrasives, coated abrasives, super-abrasives, polishing products, loose abrasives and media, raw materials and synthetic and natural abrasive grains. The information given includes company name, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses and websites, if applicable, year of establishment, number of employees, name of the director, business activity and main products.

"It is estimated that over half of all abrasives demand generated between 2012 and 2017 will be attributable to China," said Lena Han, public relations manager for Business Data International. "However, it is still hard to find business information in English on the abrasive industry in China. To meet such a need, we published the first and only English-language China Abrasives Directory 2015."
