A-G-P

What A-G-P does

A-G-P (legal entity AGP srl) is an Italian private limited company founded in 1984 and headquartered in Foresto Sparso, Bergamo. The company designs and manufactures high-precision technical rubber articles — including membranes (down to 0.015 mm thickness), shaped seals, rubber-to-metal parts, plugs and grommets, washers, and custom co-designed components — using compression moulding and injection moulding processes supported by proprietary technologies such as the Barwell preforming system, cryogenic deburring with liquid nitrogen, in-house raw-material laboratory testing, and dual optical sorting machines for 100% automated inspection. Production capabilities span from micro components (2.9 mm cable gland, 0.035 g) to large parts (700 mm diameter washer, 14,000 g).

The company sells exclusively on a B2B custom-manufacturing basis, generating revenue through one-time project orders for specified components rather than recurring licenses or subscriptions, with pricing determined per quote based on materials, geometry, and volume. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a dedicated Sales Department (Carla Tosini), Sales and Technical Manager (Daniele Vecchi), and Export Manager (Michele Castagna), supported by a multilingual website in Italian, English, and German. End-applications span seven industrial verticals — Industrial Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Pneumatic, Hydraulic, Electrical, Foodstuff, and Furnishing — with named use cases including solenoid valves, pressure regulators, fluid regulators, dispensers, coffee machines, and faucet components. Distribution is direct B2B with flexible delivery options including kanban and just-in-time services from an automated warehouse.

A-G-P holds ISO 9001 certification (since 2006), is a member of ASSOGOMMA (Italian rubber federation), and has earned a Green Badge for Energy Diagnosis under Legislative Decree 102/14. The company has invested in zero-waste compression moulding, activated carbon fume abatement (since 2016), and recyclable blister packaging with a return-and-reuse program. Headcount grew from 3 employees in 1984 to 60 by December 31, 2021, supported by three facility relocations, a production area doubling in 1999, and an office/administrative expansion in 2014. No external venture or private equity investment is disclosed; ownership appears to remain with founders/family.

Core offering

A-G-P (AGP srl) designs and manufactures high-precision technical rubber articles for industrial customers. Its product range spans six lines: ultra-thin membranes, shaped seals, rubber-to-metal parts, plugs and grommets, washers, and custom co-designed details. Manufacturing uses compression and injection moulding with Barwell preforming, cryogenic deburring, and 100% optical sorting, all under ISO 9001 quality management.

Product overview

A-G-P designs and manufactures high-precision technical rubber articles. The company operates as a single-product manufacturing business focused on precision rubber components, producing six main product lines: Membranes (for valves and pressure regulators), Shaped Seals (for flanges and containers), Rubber-to-Metal Parts (combining rubber and metal), Plugs and Grommets (for solenoid valves and fluid regulators), Washers (for industrial sealing applications), and Custom Details to Design (co-designed technical articles). All products are manufactured using compression and injection moulding technologies with in-house quality control laboratory, Barwell preforming, cryogenic deburring, and automated sorting capabilities.

Products and services

• Membranes Membranes used for regulating and moving gases or liquids inside valves, electronic or mechanical pressure regulators, produced in various materials with thicknesses down to 0.015 mm, including customized high-performing variants. Intended for industrial OEMs building valves and regulators.
• Shaped Seals Shaped seals designed for flanges, containers or lids, enabling the joining of two or more parts made of different materials while ensuring their static seal, for industrial assembly and sealing applications.
• Rubber-to-Metal Parts Products combining the elasticity of rubber with the stability of metal, ideal for use in actuators of electric valves and in dispensers such as soap dispensers. Targeted at OEMs of fluid-control actuators and dispensing equipment.
• Plugs and Grommets Sealing elements used in sliders of solenoid valves and fluid regulators, such as those in coffee machines, serving fluid-control and small appliance OEMs.
• Washers Washers manufactured by moulding or cutting, including very thin thicknesses, indispensable as static seals for jet breakers and essential for the faucet sector, serving hydraulic and plumbing OEMs.
• Details to Design Custom technical products designed and manufactured to customer specifications or through co-design, providing specialized and innovative solutions for industrial buyers' application-specific needs.
