AGIS Industrie Service

What AGIS Industrie Service does

AGIS Industrie Service GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German technical wholesale distributor specializing in occupational safety (Arbeitsschutz), fire protection (Brandschutz), industrial supplies (Industriebedarf), and operational equipment (Betriebseinrichtung). The company markets a catalog of over 70,000 articles from suppliers including Dräger, MSA, BP, Kübler, Mascot, KCL, Honeywell, Ansell, UVEX, Mapa, Elten, and Cofra, and serves industrial customers and trade businesses across Germany's industry, crafts, and construction sectors. Operations are anchored at the Viersen headquarters (Schiefbahner Str. 14) with regional branches in Koblenz and Marktredwitz, each operating a physical Workwear Shop totaling roughly 800+ square meters of retail space.

The company's product offering spans head/eye protection, respiratory protection, hearing protection (including custom-fitted otoplastics via the ForSec service line), hand and foot protection, workwear and protective clothing, fall protection, fire extinguishers and detection systems, industrial equipment, and packaging supplies. Business model revenue is generated through one-time product sales (technical wholesale margins on catalog items) plus professional-services revenue from PPE concept consulting, product customization, equipment maintenance and inspection, project management for complex installations, and recurring training programs (fire protection, forklift certification, ADR dangerous goods, first aid). Certifications include DIN ISO 9001 and DIN ISO 45001, and AGIS is a "Dräger Top-Partner 2026," a member of the Verband Technischer Handel, and serves as a ForSec system supplier with a nationwide network of 500+ stationary service partners.

The go-to-market is sales-led with both field and inside sales teams, supplemented by digital channels: the AGIS Onlineshop (agis-onlineshop.de), the ONVENTIS e-procurement platform, OCI (Open Catalog Interface) ERP integration, the AGIS Move ordering platform, and eProc.III multi-supplier procurement. Two authorized managing directors — Michael Berghausen and Leonhard Engels — govern the GmbH & Co. KG structure, with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds. Pricing is quote-based for B2B customers; the company explicitly reserves the right to short-term price adjustments due to ongoing Middle East-related supply chain disruptions.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Lyreco: Pan-European distributor of workplace and industrial supplies (PPE, cleaning, hygiene, office, packaging) with strong e-procurement and OCI capabilities serving mid-market and enterprise customers. Overlaps AGIS in PPE, industrial supplies, and digital B2B procurement, but with broader product breadth and multi-country scale.
• Grainger: Global MRO industrial distributor with extensive PPE, safety, and facilities-maintenance assortments and a strong digital/KeepStock procurement platform serving enterprise customers. Overlaps AGIS across PPE, industrial supplies, and digital B2B procurement, but at far larger scale and breadth, and competing for the same enterprise framework agreements.
• Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG: The dominant German technical wholesaler with a national field-sales force, deep industrial/PPE/workwear portfolio, and online platforms (Würth Online Shop). Overlaps with AGIS across occupational safety, workwear, fire protection, and MRO supplies, but at vastly larger scale, broader assortment, and with owned brands.
• Kaiser + Kraft: German (now part of TAKEUCHI / wider group) B2B catalog and online distributor of workplace, warehouse, transport, and occupational safety equipment serving industrial buyers. Comparable to AGIS on Betriebseinrichtung (workshop/warehouse/office equipment) and parts of occupational safety, with a larger national catalog and catalog-driven sales motion.

Direct peers

• Hoffmann Group: German quality tools and workplace safety specialist with its own e-procurement platform, OCI integration, and B2B field sales serving industrial customers across Europe. Closely comparable to AGIS in combining PPE/workplace safety distribution with digital procurement tools (OCI/punch-out) and a similar industrial/trades customer base.
• Engelbert Strauss: German workwear and PPE specialist with both B2B field sales and direct-to-customer channels, operating Workwear Stores, online shops, and a large catalog of branded occupational apparel and safety products. Highly comparable to AGIS on product mix (occupational safety, workwear, footwear), channel structure (retail stores + e-commerce + field sales), and customer base (industry, trades, construction).
• UVEX Safety Group: German PPE manufacturer and direct seller of head, eye, hand, foot, and respiratory protection as well as workwear, with strong B2B distribution through its own webshop and partners. Comparable to AGIS on the core occupational safety product categories (one of AGIS's listed suppliers, in fact), but competes as a vertically integrated manufacturer-distributor.
• ELTEN: German safety footwear manufacturer with direct B2B distribution and webshop serving industrial, trades, and construction customers across Europe. Highly comparable to AGIS in the foot protection category (ELTEN is actually an AGIS partner brand), with overlapping customer segments and similar product specialization.
• Stokvis Tiemann: German technical wholesaler specializing in industrial tools, PPE, workwear, and workplace safety products with national distribution and a B2B customer base in industry, trades, and construction. Comparable to AGIS in product mix (occupational safety, workwear, MRO supplies) and customer base, though with broader geographic reach within Germany.

Emerging players

• Brady Corporation: European operation (Brady GmbH, Germany) of US-based Brady Corporation, specializing in safety identification, signage, lockout/tagout, and workplace safety solutions for industrial customers. Partially comparable to AGIS in fire protection signage/plans and parts of occupational safety, but with a narrower, more specialized product focus.
