Customer experience (CX) is an enterprise-wide prio- rity at AGI. This is demonstrated by AGI EMEA, which now has three new state-of-the-art manufacturing faci- lities to serve our customers, spanning Europe, Middle East and Africa. These new facilities are located in the Bo- logna region of Italy, where AGI EMEA is headquartered. They’ve enabled us to increase our manufacturing capa- bilities, produce high quality equipment and continue our commitment to providing exceptional customer service. AGI EMEA set the objective of providing a top tier experience by serving customers faster, with lower costs and unparalleled engineering support. We knew that ac- hieving this goal would require the significant invest- ment of building new state-of-the-art facilities, capable of serving our expanding global demand better and fas- ter. These facilities include new product lines and incre- ased manufacturing and engineering capabilities which further enhance AGI EMEA’s reputation as a leading glo- bal player in grain storage and handling solutions. The facility in Fiesso D’Artico was specifically designed to further enhance the capabilities of AGI FRAME, one of the most respected engineering companies in Europe. AGI FRAME manufactures high quality storage silos and ancillary equipment, including round hoppers, sweep and discharge augers, cleaning, drying and other equipment associated with both commercial and cereal storage sys- tems. With the Fiesso D’Artico facility, AGI FRAME now includes three new lines for roof, stiffeners and wall sheet capabilities, in addition to commissioning innovative ro- botic welding cells that will automate welding activities. In this new facility, AGI FRAME has an unmatched ability to provide cost-effective, high quality, technically advan- ced, environmentally friendly solutions to meet customers’ individual storage requirements in the fastest timeframe. The AGI facility in Este is the center of the well-known brand AGI PTM, a top-tier manufacturer of handling equ- ipment for grain storage and processing. The AGI PTM product range includes bucket elevators, chain conveyors and belt conveyors. The handling capacity ranges from 20 to 2000 t/h. AGI PTM delivers solutions across a range of applications and industries including, storage and me- chanization of port installations to serving industry grain traders, millers, feed-mills, pelletizers, bio-fuel processing plants, engineering companies and contractors around the world. The new facility in Este benefited from not only new laser cutting and press break machines but also an automatic lathe cell and milling machine station that will manage the majority of the components for mechanical handing. With this innovation, we provide competitive cost and delivery time solutions while maintaining our on- going commitment to producing industry leading systems. AGI EMEA saw the value in investing in a top-of-the-line facility to better support the work our engineers perform. The facility in Ozzano was doubled in size to provide ad- ditional space for engineering and project management departments to keep up with AGI EMEA’s growth. As a company that prioritizes innovation and providing industry leading CX, AGI EMEA is truly excited for the futu- re. We are thrilled by our potential to continue moving the dial forward on effective grain storage and handling soluti- ons. Our new facilities play a significant role in raising the bar on what the agriculture technology industry can offer.
