What ADG does

ADG Srl is an Italian privately held limited liability company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Rome, operating as a wholesale distributor of non-destructive testing (NDT/CND) equipment and solutions. The company serves industrial customers across manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, aerospace, automotive, and construction sectors, supplying equipment and consumables for quality control, defect detection, weld inspection, corrosion monitoring, and regulatory compliance. ADG is UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certified for NDT equipment marketing and after-sales service.

The product portfolio spans all major NDT methodologies, including ultrasonic testing (with phased array), radiography (film, computed, and digital), liquid penetrant and magnetic particle testing, magnetic flux leakage, videoscope visual inspection, thermography, gammagraphy, heat treatment, and vacuum leak testing. ADG acts as authorized Italian distributor and official partner for approximately 13 global NDT brands, including Evident (ultrasonics and videoscopes), Carestream (digital radiography), Comet (X-ray tubes), QSA Global (radioisotope sources and gamma projectors), MFE Enterprises (tank scanners), Opgal (optical gas imaging), Kowotest, X-Ray Worx, VisiConsult (X-ray inspection with AI-powered automatic defect recognition), Elvatech (XRF analyzers), Suntec (heat treatment), Cigiemme (PT/MT consumables), and Diondo (CT systems). Technical content references specific product capabilities including 2.0 micrometer JIMA resolution on microfocus X-ray tubes, sub-5-minute setup and 1-weld-per-minute processing on portable digital radiography, and AI-driven defect recognition compliant with ASTM standards.

Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) hardware sales of NDT equipment ranging from single consumables and accessories to complete turnkey installations with handling systems, and (2) professional services including consulting, design, technical support, repairs, calibration, certification of measuring instruments, and on-site assistance. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct B2B sales with express-courier delivery across Italy and international distribution through wholly-owned offices in Milan (ADG Gamma Technologies, focused on gamma radiography) and Dubai (serving Middle East markets). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are directed to request quotes directly. Marketing channels include the company website, LinkedIn, direct phone/email contact, and industry events.
