With 29 production locations on 5 continents, the TYROLIT group belongs to the world’s largest producers of bonded abrasives. The company is based in Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria. TYROLIT, a registered trademark, was named after the mineral Tyrolite, first described in 1845 in Tyrol.
History
Tyrolit was co-founded on the 13th of February 1919 by Daniel Swarovski to manufacture grinding wheels for the production of Swarovski-Crystals. During World War I, the Swarovski Group was cut off from supplies of grinding wheels and was forced to develop and produce its own grinding wheels. After the war, it was decided to commercialize this activity and to start a separate company: Tyrolit was born. In 1950, the company relocated from the Swarovski Headquarters in Wattens to a new location in Schwaz. One of the largest drivers of growth of the company was the market launch of the glass fibre reinforced cut-off and grinding wheel SECUR in 1952. The glass fibre reinforcement greatly improved the security of the tools against centrifugal breakage. In 1991 Tyrolit acquired the US company Diamond Products and the Swiss company Hydrostress. These acquisitions added significant presence in the market for concrete drilling and sawing systems. Further major acquisitions took place in 2004 with the purchasing of the Czech company Carborundum Electrite and in 2009 with the purchasing of the US company Radiac.

In My Dreams
by: DerailedWhen we all die and judgment day comes there will be two places we go; Heaven or Hell and I know it’s not up to me to tell who will get eternal glory and who will be left in the mud.
But what I know is wile I’m here I will make my dreams come true, and to make a better place for you and me.
Some people get all mad and tell me that dreams are bad,
But I’m not going to just stick my head in the sand I’m not going to join that corporate band,
I’m going to lie here in bed dreaming.
And it’s not like they can do any thing, I’m unstoppable in my dreams.
No dream is too big you can do it all the time in you’re mind.
I am an ice cream man,
I play in my one school band,
I live in a far off land of happiness,
The beaches are covered with bateafule sand,
And life is good,
And every thing is as it should be.
In my dreams.
What’s the point of waiting just dive in and go.
When we all die and judgment day comes there will be two places we go; Heaven or Hell and I know it’s not up to me to tell who will get eternal glory and who will be left in the mud.
But what I know is wile I’m here I will make my dreams come true.
