Grindwell Norton Ltd. (GNO) came into being when a technical collaboration in 1967 between Grindwell and the then world leader in abrasives – Norton Company, USA, grew into a financial collaboration in 1971. In 1990, Saint-Gobain acquired Norton Company, USA, worldwide, and six years later, GNO became the first majority-owned subsidiary of Saint-Gobain in India.
Today, GNO is India’s leading manufacturer of Abrasives (Bonded, Coated, Non-Woven, Superabrasives and Thin Wheels) and Silicon Carbide. It also manufactures and markets High Performance Refractories and Performance Plastics products. GNO’s Project Engineering Group (PEG), with its portfolio of diverse projects, is a proven engineering resource for Saint-Gobain companies in India and internationally.
GNO manufacturing locations are seven, they are, (Mora near Mumbai, Nagpur, Bangalore, Tirupati, Halol near Vadodara, Himachal Pradesh and Bhutan) and 11 sales 
offices across the country. The Himachal Pradesh Abrasives site and Saint-Gobain Ceramic Materials Bhutan Pvt. Ltd.
