At JJS Canada, we are proud to commemorate a momentous milestone in the history of one of our closest partners — sia Abrasives’ 150th anniversary. As the exclusive importer of sia products in Canada, this celebration holds special meaning for us, not only as a business achievement but also as a testament to the strength of long-standing partnerships built on trust, innovation, and shared purpose.
A Legacy of Excellence Since 1875
Founded in Switzerland in 1875, sia Abrasives has grown from a small craft business into a global leader in surface finishing solutions.
Throughout its history, sia has maintained a relentless commitment to precision, quality, and progress. From its early days producing emery paper to its current role as part of the Bosch Group, sia’s journey reflects a rare blend of tradition and innovation.
