Watch Washington Mills on the popular documentary series How It’s Made, airing on Discovery Channel in Canada and the Science Channel in the United States.
Washington Mills was featured on Season 10, Episode 3 of the series, which shows the step-by-step manufacturing processes of how raw materials are transformed into finished commercial goods and everyday objects.
Interested in showing audiences how abrasives are made, the producers of the show approached Washington Mills to request exploring and filming our manufacturing process. How It's Made spent two full days filming at our plants in Niagara Falls, Ontario, creating a segment which features a behind-the-scenes look at the work that goes into making high-quality abrasive grains.
The episode first aired on Discovery Channel on January 22, 2008, and has since been re-aired in multiple languages and across global markets. Today, re-runs of How It's Made air on the Science Channel and Discovery, and can be streamed on platforms such as Discovery+, Max, Hulu, Tubi, and Pluto TV.
