The lightweight portable skate sharpening machine (SSM-2) has its origin in the late 60's, when it was constructed by Rune Gustavsson, then at Osmund Fabriks AB in Uppsala, Sweden. In the early 80's Gustavsson and Kurt Jaderstrom left Osmund and formed their own company, SSM Produkt AB, for manufacturing and selling skate sharpening machines and riveting machines.
Today, over 16,000 SSM Sharpening machines are currently being used by very satisfied customers worldwide to include Individuals, Families, Youth, Olympic and Professional Teams.
The North American Rep, Scott Corwin, met Gustavsson and Jaderstrom back in 1982, while playing hockey in Upssala, which is north of Stockholm and where SSM machines are manufactured. During a brief period in the mid '80's when Scott returned from Sweden, to his hometown in New England, he sold a couple dozen SSM (Skate Sharpening Machines) in the USA before he went on to a career in the USMC.
Reengaged with the SSM Manufacturer in Sweden again in 2008, Scott this time with his business partner Jeff Wiggin has rekindled the North America (NA) distributorship for SSM. Business in the USA and Canada is going strong. There has been tremendous satisfaction from existing and new customers whether they are individual skaters, families, high school, Junior A, College or Pro Teams as well as pro shops and retail stores that service figure skaters and ice hockey players throughout the USA and Canada.
Scott and Jeff and their team are eager to help you meet all your sharpening needs and to deliver you quality service and for many years to come.
SSM of North America assures you that SSM will provide you "The Edge You Deserve."
SSM Produkt AB since 1960, Uppsala Sweden
New to North America in 2008
