Most people know Noritake as a world famous Japanese producer of fine china (dishes and dinnerware), but now, that makes up only a small percentage of the company's current ventures. Most of the Noritake's efforts are directed toward using the same technology and methods they originally used to make fine china, to instead produce grinding tools for highly accurate and efficient industrial grinding applications. These grinding applications are mostly for industrial and automotive manufacturing. The Noritake catalogue includes a wide variety of products and periphery such as: coated abrasives (sandpaper), honing and gel stones, coolant, grinding machines; and especially, conventional grinding wheels (aluminum oxide, ceramic, etc.) and Diamond/CBN wheels and dressers.I aid in the marketing and sales of these items to OEMs, and lower tier manufacturers in the southern US and abroad. I work alongside Japanese counterparts and occasionally act as a translator or interpreter.
