A&G Instruments

What A&G Instruments does

A&G Instruments, legally A&G Instrument Service and Calibration Inc., is a privately held, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited company headquartered at 1227 N. Tustin Ave., Anaheim, California. The firm operates as a hybrid manufacturer representative and stocking distributor for industrial process control and instrumentation brands including Eurotherm, Barber Colman, Bellofram, Bi-Lok, Vaisala, and Wika, while simultaneously delivering a full suite of engineering, installation, calibration, and repair services. Its core technical capabilities span system design, control panel fabrication, PLC and MMI integration, commissioning and startup, NIST-traceable calibration, temperature uniformity surveys, and 24-hour emergency repair service for process control and measurement instruments covering pressure, flow, level, temperature, pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen parameters.

The company's revenue model combines three streams: (1) hardware sales of controllers, recorders, flow meters, control valves, transmitters, gauges, switches, and tubing from represented manufacturers; (2) professional services including system design, installation, repair, calibration, and commissioning; and (3) recurring maintenance contracts and scheduled preventative maintenance with NIST-traceable calibration certification. Distribution is direct sales-led to industrial end-users, with the iso-accredited in-house and on-site calibration capability serving as a key differentiator for regulated industries.

A&G serves a diversified vertical mix of engineering plants, pharmaceutical, automotive, food processing, municipal, and chemical plant customers, with the pharmaceutical and chemical segments emphasized as primary given their strict regulatory requirements for measurement accuracy and calibration documentation. The company has 11-50 employees, no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no evidence of M&A or geographic expansion. Its online presence is minimal (basic website, no social media profiles, no app), and the firm appears to operate as a stable, founder/management-owned regional industrial services business in Southern California.
