Bulldog Abrasives was established in 1995 to represent Mirka as the sole distributor for abrasives in Sub-Saharan Africa which it has done with great success over the last 25 years. Mirka is a global leading manufacturer and supplier of abrasives to automotive manufacturers and refinishing specialists, as well as marine, wood and furniture sectors, and the metal and composite industries. In 1997 Bulldog Abrasives was acquired by present management and over the years has continued to expand its product range with the aim of building a one-stop solution for its customers. To this end the focus has been to supply high quality competitively priced products that are supported by a team of skilled technical staff. The business initially focused on the automotive industry, DIY, woodworking and composite markets. By aligning the business with globally recognised suppliers, Bulldog has managed to set itself apart by supplying a comprehensive range of market-leading and innovative products.
