AQS supplies large companies like Unilever and Bimbo with their food processing knives. Our food processing blades are made from high quality steels approved for use in the food industry. These food processing knives include ice cream scraper blades, bagel slicing blades, muffin perforator knives, zig zag knives, stew knives, and special custom made knives.

Our tungsten carbide razor offers a blade that is extremely durable and long lasting, translating to less changeover, a cleaner cut, and overall savings on time and material for our customers. The tungsten carbide razor offers 80x the wear resistance of a traditional carbon steel razor blade, making it perfect for high volume or more abrasive slitting.

Our packaging knives can be found in plants around the world. We pride ourselves on the consistency and quality of all our industrial knives, including these straight knives. We know how important the minute details of these packaging blades can be and we strive to provide only the best straight blades to all of our customers.

Our pelletizing blades are used worldwide. Our years of experience with these blades have earned us our reputation for high quality pelletizer knives.
