Inland Diamond Products

What Inland Diamond Products does

Inland Diamond Products, Co. is a privately held American manufacturer of diamond tools and superabrasives, founded in 1976 and headquartered at 32051 Howard Ave, Madison Heights, Michigan. The company designs, patents, and produces engineered diamond and CBN tooling, including profile wheels, cup wheels/bevelers, polishing wheels, CNC tooling, core drills, and dry powder coolant, serving glass fabricators, stone fabricators, optical laboratories, concrete polishing contractors, and lapidary/hobby customers across North America. Its core technology portfolio includes metal bond, resin bond, and vacuum brazed processes, anchored by the patented Mono Layer Brazed (Durabits) process and a portfolio of over 50 patents covering wheel construction, bonding methods, and lens-surfacing tooling. Inland also operates a re-truing and re-profiling service that restores any manufacturer's diamond wheels to original geometry.

The company operates a B2B enterprise field sales motion, with quote-based pricing, direct phone and email engagement, and no public list pricing. It maintains an extensive OEM-compatibility matrix covering all major global glass processing machine brands (Bavelloni, Besana, Bottero, Schiatti, Bovone, Lattuada, Baudin, Intermac, Bystronic, Coburn, National Optronics, and many others), and positions itself as an ISO 9001:2015 certified "Made in USA" supplier with same-day shipment on most stocked items. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time unit sales of consumable tooling, complemented by professional services revenue from re-truing and re-profiling work, with a smaller contribution from optical chemical solutions (tinting dyes, UV coatings, scratch resistant coatings, neutralizers, coolants, defoamers).
