Products and Markets


Abtex custom deburring solutions are most commonly found on the manufacturing floors of aluminum and powdered metal manufacturers as well as fine-blanking and finishing/polishing operations.

Most of these manufacturers serve the automotive, aerospace, and medical device markets.

The company manufactures and supplies stock deburring brushes under the Bradex® brand, but it is more widely known for its creativity and expertise in custom-designing brushes and deburring systems for manufacturers for whom efficient operation is paramount.

Abtex is also the exclusive North American supplier of Artifex elastic bonded abrasive finishing/polishing products.

Applications Lab


Abtex’s “nerve center” is its Applications Lab in Dresden, NY

Here, Abtex engineers demonstrate the company’s value by designing and building actual deburring solutions for real customer problems, using the customer’s real parts as test cases.

Deburred parts are then returned to customers as tangible evidence of how Abtex can enhance manufacturing productivity and efficiency.
