Founded in 1951 by Loren Atwood (shown in photo, top right). At the time the company made equipment exclusively for the dental industry. Only later, under son Bruce's direction, did the company enter the beauty industry in earnest. Atwood Industries manufactures and distributes electric filing machines and implements including Diamond Magic Bits, Z-Carbides, Swiss Carbides, acrylic, gel and nail art brushes, files, nippers, grippers, and more.
