Our Affiliations & Certifications

“We have utilized AGC for several years as our plate pack vendor, and during this time I have found them to be exceptionally responsive to our needs. Whether it is a request for a drawing, an emergency order of parts, a new or refurbished plate pack for an AGC unit or another maker’s unit, I have always found them to react quickly and efficiently to my request. The detail they bring to their work, especially with the sections of plates in order and clear instructional notes, separates them from other suppliers.”

Brian Scott, Maintenance Manager the Dannon Company

“It has been our pleasure to work with AGC from day one. The customer service team helped us select the proper equipment before we opened our doors and continues to provide excellent service at every step along the way. I have posed numerous technical and process-related questions, and AGC's support - in all aspects - has been superlative. In our recent expansion, we purchased a second unit and expanded the capacity on our original frame. Our custom retrofit was handled smoothly, and we feel we are in great hands with AGC.”
