We Invest in You by Investing in Us

You have high expectations, and so do we. So, we invest in quality throughout our organization – from our people to our plant to our processes.

Our People

Everybody at AGW – from the shop floor to the front office – gets training. As a result, we have earned some of the most prestigious certifications in the industry.

To foster accountability and responsibility throughout the company, we offer performance bonuses to the people in our shop, and our leadership team follows the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), which involves quarterly training throughout the year.

In addition, our leaders all participate in industry organizations, including TAPPI, AGMA and AIST.

Our Plant

Our 34,000-square-foot plant is a work in progress, with a 10,000-square-foot addition planned for the near future. We invest in new equipment every year with four main goals:

• Improve our quality
• Increase our capacity
• Reduce our response time
• Solve more complex problems

Some of our recent acquisitions, for example, are a gear checker that enables more precise reverse-engineering, a CNC horizontal boring mill and a CNC gear hobber.

Our Processes

Years ago, we decided the only way to deliver the quality we know you want and need was to vertically integrate. So, we have a full in-house machine shop that can handle everything from machining new shafts and spacers to re-machining bores in a gearbox housing and can cut spur, helical, double-helical and worm gears.

We also have a full engineering department that enables us to rebuild all makes and models of gearboxes and create new gears and gearboxes from samples and/or prints. And we do it all using only U.S.-made steel – the best steel in the world.
