Chris Boraston, managing director at AGS commented: "We have seen rapid growth over the last two to three years with record sales being achieved and currently over £5 million worth of machinery under order.”
Machines under build include several Bahmuller internal and external grinding machines, large robot based Magnetfinish deburring machines for Delphi Technologies, and multiple Rollomatic tool grinding machines for a number of tool manufactures located in the UK and in Eire.
“That, combined with the need for us to further increase our stockholding of Krebs & Riedel grinding machines led us to invest in purchasing the new industrial unit that gives us an additional 900ft² of office and storage space,” Mr Boraston added.
“All of our principals have also been busy expanding over recent times; a prime example being Tschudin (centreless grinders) who recently opened their own brand new state-of-the-art five floor advanced manufacturing facility. We have to grow with them to meet customer demand.
“We will also shortly be announcing the introduction of two new principals to our range and the new building helps facilitate that expansion. Whilst our own new facility is already fast filling up, we at long last have sufficient space to stock additional grinding wheels and similar items for our customers. The layout is perfect for our needs and will allow us to operate with much more efficiency.
“Furthermore, the use of solar panels and our own wind turbine helps us meet our commitment to working towards a carbon neutral facility and we have an electric vehicle charging point installed as well.
AGS is now located at Unit 80, Binley Industrial Estate, Coventry, CV3 2RL.
