The starting point for the future strategy of AGTOS is to continue and expand its activities with the existing management and employees.
The German developer and manufacturer of wheel blasting machines AGTOS has recently announced that its shareholders have decided to sell the company to Sintokogio LTD, a global producer of foundry equipment based in Nagoya (Japan) and with over seventy subsidiaries worldwide.
The purchase was carried out by the Winoa SA Group, an international manufacturer of high-quality blasting abrasives and other innovative and environmentally friendly products, solutions and services for surface preparation – which is also part of Sintokogio and has its headquarters in France.
‘AGTOS Gesellschaft für technische Oberflächensysteme GmbH’ has then been renamed to ‘Sinto AGTOS GmbH’, in order to emphasise the new affiliation. With the acquisition, the Japanese group aims to further strengthen its surface treatment business in Europe through the good market position and high reputation of AGTOS, in order to supply customers from various industrial sectors with solutions for surface treatment, environmental protection, material handling, mechatronics and consumables.
Founded in 2001 in Emsdetten (Germany), AGTOS has a combined total of more than 160 employees at its plant in Konin (Poland) as well as in its headquarters and serves customers of all sizes, particularly in the automotive and automotive supply industry, foundries, forges, steel distributors, the fastener industry and mechanical engineering. The starting point for the future strategy for AGTOS is to continue and expand its activities with the existing management and employees at both locations.
