Stronger Than Ever: ARC Celebrates 61 Years

This year marks the 61st Anniversary of the launch of ARC Abrasives, an abrasive manufacturing company that provides proprietary and high performance abrasives for the metalworking industry.

In 1960, Zerla and Si Stayman’s dream came true in the town of Troy, Ohio. ARC Abrasives, Inc. began by using a Mixmaster to create the adhesive for the company’s first product, the PSA disc.

Then & Now

Initially, the company consisted of five people working out of a rented garage. As the PSA discs grew in popularity, more products were introduced such as cartridge rolls and other specialties. As the product lines expanded, so did the facility. The Staymans moved ARC Abrasives Inc. to a different location in 1985. After the relocation, ARC Abrasives started producing belts, quick-change discs in 1992, and flap discs in 1998.

Today, under second-generation ownership with Tony Stayman, a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, and over 100 employees, ARC Abrasives is one of the nation’s largest abrasives converters and proudly supports American manufacturing companies.
