AGI Industries, is an industrial fluid handling products distributor, systems packager and specialty pump manufacturer founded in 1963 when founder, Albert L. George, decided to design and build a new line of hydraulic tongs for the oil and gas industry. While the project never developed, Albert found the local marketplace eager for fluid power products and technical expertise in the application of those products.
In 1968 the company name changed from George Equipment & Engineering to Al George Incorporated. The company then expanded to include pump distribution, packaged pump systems and the manufacturing of high pressure triplex pumps and related components. The company formally became AGI Industries in 1998.
Today AGI Industries consists of three divisions, AGI Industries, AGI Packaged Pump Systems, and Hydroplex and has expanded to include valve and valve automation products, flow, level temperature and pressure measurement, long term storage and preservation products, and electrical motors, drives, and controls.
In 2003 the principal shareholders established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) allowing the ownership of the company to flow to the benefit of the employees and making each employee a stakeholder in the growth and success of the company.
AGI Industries, blessed with a wealth of long-term employees, has experienced impressive strategic growth allowing us to recruit, train, and retain the best employees in the industry. Our corporate office is located in Lafayette, Louisiana with branches in New Orleans, Lake Charles, Shreveport, Baton Rouge; Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Odessa, Texas; Hobbs, New Mexico; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Gillette, Wyoming; and Monterrey Mexico.
