AGP – High Tech Treatment Vision
Everything around us has been processed or treated using abrasives.
AGP, French specialist in raw material for the surface treatment, is a major actor in Europe.
AGP has always been a specialist in free abrasives, like aluminium oxide or silicon carbide for example. However, AGP has enlarged its expertise and also provides, today, a wide range of MEI Tools and Diamond tools.
Thus, AGP’s knowhow contribute to the performance of a large number of precision applications in high-tech industries, as Aeronautics, Medical, Optics, Crystal, Flat glass, Precision engineering…
AGP has instituted a rigorous quality organization described in a quality assurance manual.
