AGS-TECH

What AGS-TECH does

AGS-TECH, Inc. is a privately held custom contract manufacturer incorporated in New Mexico and headquartered in Albuquerque, originally established as AGS-Group in 1979 and spun off in 2002 to focus on advanced-technology manufacturing. The firm operates as a one-stop source for custom parts, components, subassemblies, finished products, machines, and industrial equipment across mechanical, electrical/electronic, optical, optoelectronic, optomechanical, and fiber optic categories, delivering plastic/rubber molding, die making, castings, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, metal stamping, EDM, powder metallurgy, and nano/micro/mesoscale precision manufacturing.

Its underlying technology stack is a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment linking CAD/CAE (CATIA), Computer-Aided Process Planning, Group Technology classification, Cellular and Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), Holonic Manufacturing, Just-In-Time, Lean, AI systems, and Expert Systems. Production runs in partner plants across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific under quality certifications ISO 9001, QS 9000, TS 16949, ISO 13485, AS 9100, and ISO 14001, with product compliance to UL, CE, EMC, FCC, CSA, FDA, and international standards (ASTM, DIN, MIL, IEEE).

AGS-TECH makes money through quote-based, project-priced custom manufacturing, mechanical/electronic/fiber optic assembly, engineering and prototyping services, global procurement and consolidation (warehousing, kitting, drop shipping), and private/white labeling. It sells directly via sales-led engineering consultation supported by an AI-powered Global Product Finder & Locator Service, supplemented by reselling third-party industrial products (ATOP networking, QualityLine AI analytics). Customers are primarily industrial OEMs and contract manufacturers; named references span packaging, food processing, microelectronics, labeling, industrial hardware, marine, automotive aftermarket, outdoor appliances, electronics, and telecommunications.
