CUMI AWUKO Abrasives GmbH has been part of the globally successful Carborundum Universal Limited (CUMI) since 2022. With its high-quality flexible abrasives, AWUKO is one of the world's leading suppliers of quality abrasives for wood and leather sanding. Formerly a medium-sized family business, the manufacturer now employs around 170 people.

AWUKO was founded in 1898 by August Wandmacher. The cornerstone was the development of a pad for leather grinding, which Wandmacher had protected as a utility model. Since the company was founded, the manufacture of abrasives has been an inseparable part of the history of Hann. Münden in Lower Saxony.

AWUKO's hallmarks are high quality, professional customer support and compliance with strict environmental standards. The basis is formed by state-of-the-art production facilities with a high manufacturing range. The DIN EN ISO 9001-certified quality management system and the globally organized sales structure ensure on-site technical support, the implementation of customer-specific requirements and short delivery times.
