SurfPrep’s roots go back to 1978, when Dixon Enterprises, Inc. was founded in California with a clear mission: revolutionize sanding for professionals. Early on, Dixon teamed up with leading foam abrasive manufacturers in the UK—pioneers in the space—which quickly helped the company become North America’s go-to importer for high-performance sanding materials.
Fast forward to 2010, the SurfPrep brand was officially born. After months of development and a two-week creative brainstorm between four team members, the name “SurfPrep” emerged—a perfect fusion of surface preparation and energy. Since then, SurfPrep has gained major traction, winning the AWFS Visionary Award for sanding innovation and being named a 2023 Makser Woodworking Machines Editor’s Choice.
Today, SurfPrep is trusted by a global community of woodworkers, finishers, and contractors. Backed by a growing team that includes seasoned woodworking pros with 20+ years of experience, the brand offers a complete range of sanding tools and abrasives used across cabinetry, furniture, solid surface, metal, and beyond.
What Makes SurfPrep Abrasives Unique
SurfPrep sets itself apart with a sanding system built for real-world performance and efficiency. Their game-changing 3x4 electric sander and ProFoam sponges reduce hand sanding time by up to 70%, adapting to curves and profiles without compromising the finish.
Their full abrasive lineup—foam, film, screen, and paper—is made from premium materials and engineered to last longer and clog less than traditional options. SurfPrep’s sanders are built for the long haul, with lightweight nylon composite bodies and hardened Japanese steel internals that run cool, quiet, and consistent.
From LED inspection lights to dustless vacuum systems, every SurfPrep accessory is designed to make finishing faster, cleaner, and more precise. But what really sets them apart? A customer-first culture and leadership team that’s just as reliable as the tools they build.
