Our History
Founded in 1906 by Charles Bardon, Bardon Group produces natural abrasives and fillers made from fruit stones and nutshells. Started as a pioneer of the sector in France, we now export 60% of our production through the world. For 10 decades of operation, we have firmly maintained our position as the market leader in European market. Bardon Group is still family-owned.
