For specialty cutler AccuTec Blades, staying on the cutting edge is something of a stealthy pursuit. An industry leader in the manufacture of high-performance precision blades for virtually every use, from health and beauty, surgical, and scientific applications to heavy-duty industrial use, their blades are sold under a variety of brands. It’s a good bet that at some point in your life you’ve used an AccuTec product.
With roots going back to 1875 as single edge blade maker Star Razor and rebranded to their current name in 2015, the Verona, Va.-based firm is a true pioneer. Under the Personna® brand the world’s first disposable razors were marketed to women, and the first stainless steel and tungsten steel blades were launched. DermaBlade is the world’s No. 1 shave biopsy brand for dermatology; American Line and GEM brands are stalwarts in building, construction, manufacturing, and science.
AccuTec also serves OEMs, manufacturers, and distributors with innovative blades and bladed solutions. Their distributor list reads like an industry who’s who, from industrial supply powerhouse Grainger to Cardinal Health, McKesson, Fromm International, Sherwin-Williams, Lowe’s, and Home Depot, to name just a few. In addition to its Virginia HQ, design, and production facilities, the firm has a packaging and manufacturing operation in Obregon, Mexico.
A NEW VISION
As senior VP of operations, Kevin Closky sharpens the firm’s performance. For over a quarter-century he traveled the globe, consulting with the industry’s biggest corporations. When a knee injury forced him to give up long overseas flights, he left that life behind for what he thought would be a comfortable early retirement. That thought vanished in 2018 when AccuTec’s CEO lured him back to the razor’s edge— and his comfort zone as a leader, change agent, and mentor.
