WALTER Surface Technologies has announced the acquisition of Hermes North America. Hermes is a leading supplier of coated abrasives with a strong reputation for technical excellence and customer-focused performance.
This strategic acquisition ensures business continuity and long-term stability for Hermes North America customers, and employees. It also expands WALTER’s existing expertise in coated abrasives. The addition of Hermes strengthens WALTER’s position in key market segments, particularly in belted products that serve a wide range of finishing, robotic, and automation applications.
Hermes North America will continue to operate from its current headquarters, while WALTER plans to integrate Hermes’ high-quality abrasive products into its lineup quickly, ensuring customers have seamless access to a broader range of solutions across its distribution network. The Hermes European Group will remain independent as a trusted partner and supplier. The transaction is effective immediately, and all customer and supplier activities will continue without disruption.
This acquisition represents WALTER’s ongoing commitment to providing best-in-class productivity and surface finishing solutions that help customers work better, safer, and more efficiently.
