What Grindtech does

Grindtech, doing business as GrindTech and GT and legally named U.S. Grinding Technologies, is a privately held U.S. toll manufacturer headquartered in Chappell Hill, Texas. The company provides dry material processing services to industrial customers that require specialized particle size reduction and material handling expertise but lack the in-house capacity or technical know-how to perform the work themselves.

The company's core offering spans four interconnected service modules: dry grinding, dry blending, custom packaging, and ISO-certified lab services. Grinding operations use milling technology capable of processing materials from 25 microns to 800 microns and producing over 100,000 pounds of ground material per day, with the ability to separate super-fines from the final product. Dry blending is performed in a fleet of stainless-steel blenders with temperature control and a range of capacities. Custom packaging extends from graphic design to printing in the customer's brand identity, covering boxes, bags, and labels. An ISO-certified laboratory supports in-process quality control, impurity detection, and chemical transformation monitoring for specialty chemical work. The engineering team has more than 20 years of specialized experience in particle size reduction and dry material handling, and the assets were purpose-built around this expertise to address throughput and horsepower limitations common among other toll manufacturers.

Grindtech serves industrial manufacturers across five primary verticals: oil and gas, specialty chemicals, plastics and polymers, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE), and agriculture. The business operates on a usage-based, quote-driven toll manufacturing model under multi-year contracts, with services priced per pound or per lot and tailored to each customer's formulation. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct to industrial buyers, with the majority of new business generated through referrals from existing customers; outreach occurs via a single sales line (1 877 57 GRIND), the company website, and a LinkedIn page.
