Jowitt & Rodgers is a renowned US maker of resin-bonded grinding wheels, discs, and segments. The fourth-generation family-owned company has a fully equipped Philadelphia production factory and was formed in 1951. The firm makes automobile components, bearings, cutlery, and hand tools.
”We are very fortunate to join forces with a family-owned firm that shares comparable principles and values,” said Fred Rodgers, President. We continue to provide a secure and rewarding workplace for our employees and develop our customer and supplier relationships. I’m convinced that Jowitt & Rodgers, Buffalo, and SAK will always represent quality and service.
