Union Grove Saw & Knife Inc., founded in 1983 by Ed Bissell with the intent to become a regional tool company known for its service and quality saw products, today serves over 500 customers, including its original ten accounts. The company gladly shares that it is known for its competitive pricing and high standard of workmanship and quality products. Its goal is to form long-term partnering relationships with its customers who seek to gain a competitive advantage thru better management of their cutting tool resources.
To insure its long-term success, Union Grove is making significant changes in 2016. The company has installed a large selection of highly specialized equipment in its Union Grove facility because of a partnership created by Ed Bissell and Anthony DeHart, both individuals with extensive experience in the cutting tool industry. Bissell has a passion for the production environment and quality control, while DeHart enjoys helping customers and brings a strong sense of front office skills to the table.
This new company now has over 125 pieces of specialized equipment, all dedicated to servicing cutting tools. The company indicates that it is now fully equipped to handle the secondary woodworking industry just as effectively as it has serviced the primary markets in recent years.
Union Grove Saw & Knife has expanded its ability to provide indexable carbide insert knives, both new and replacement, to the overall market. It offers insert knives in multiple carbide grade configurations and has coating capabilities where some improvements have been shown to be very effective. Union Grove offers carbide insert knives for all standard applications, ICK knives and planer knives for all standard tool bodies.
Union Grove Saw & Knife lists its strengths to include consistently reliable delivery, technical support and training, development of application specific cutting tools refined to individual production requirements, and total lower cost of ownership.
