Founded in the coastal town of Port Gregory, the culture of GMA is built on a legacy of innovation.
From humble beginnings more than 40 years ago, GMA has grown to become the global leader in the garnet abrasives industry.
While it takes a team of over 500 people to operate GMA's three mine sites, ten processing plants, five recycling facilities, and 13 offices around the globe, the legacy of innovation and core values continue to pass down throughout each generation.
