About AGTOS

AGTOS was founded over 20 years ago by a group of specialized experts. We have been successful on the market since October 2001 and have continued to develop ever since. Together with our dedicated employees, we form the strong AGTOS team, which is characterized by a high level of expertise and experience.

Our vision and corporate philosophy

We live by the clear vision of achieving competence leadership in the field of wheel blast technology. Our corporate mission statement and our strategic goals are derived from this vision. Long-term partnerships with customers, suppliers and other business partners are of great importance to us. We form these partnerships on an equal footing, characterized by trust and sustainable cooperation.

Following strong growth since 2001, the previous shareholders have decided to transfer their shares to SINTOKOGIO LTD. based in Nagoya, Japan, from December 2024 for the further, long-term development of AGTOS.

The purchase was completed by the WINOA SA group of companies, which also belongs to SINTOKOGIO and is headquartered in France. WINOA is a leading global manufacturer of high-quality blasting abrasives. This includes innovative and environmentally friendly products, solutions and services for surface preparation.

Consequently, ‘AGTOS Gesellschaft für technische Oberflächensysteme mbH’ was renamed ‘Sinto AGTOS GmbH’ to emphasise the company’s new affiliation with the SINTOKOGIO Group.

SINTOKOGIO LTD. is a leading global manufacturer of foundry equipment with over 70 subsidiaries worldwide. The company supplies customers from various industrial sectors with solutions for surface treatment, environmental protection, material handling, mechatronics, consumables and more.

AGTOS shot blasting machines

Gesellschaft für Technische Oberflächen Systeme

The enterprise that was established 20 years ago by a small but enthusiastic team has today become an internationally renowned manufacturer of turbine-wheel shot blasting machines of all kinds. The know-how gained by the initial employees at a variety of manufacturers provided the basis for numerous shot blasting technology innovations.

For example, an innovative system for changing filter cartridges was developed, which offers decisive advantages during installation. The single-disc wheel has also experienced a renaissance in turbine technology in a modern design. It contains fewer wearing parts and enables faster assembly. In addition, there are many details, such as larger and more maintenance flaps on the machines, which also make practical operation easier.

These can now be found in over 50 countries around the world, with extremely satisfied customers machining surfaces of the most varied workpieces and materials with turbine-wheel shot blasting machines from AGTOS.

Solutions and concepts

We develop solutions that are precisely tailored to your requirements – based on the desired surface quality, your internal logistics and the available space. Our proposals are characterized by cost-effectiveness and reliability. Our team has decades of experience in blasting technology, combined with modern design methods and innovative ideas.

20 years of AGTOS – a success story

2001
We started operations on 1 October 2001 in a small commercial property with two offices in Emsdetten, Germany and, simultaneously, a factory unit in Konin, Poland.
2002
April 2002 saw us exhibiting for the first time with a small stand at the Hannover Messe trade fair.
2003
We moved into a new building at Gutenbergstrasse 14 in 2003, and this address is still our company headquarters. The first machine, a satellite rotary table blasting machine, was also delivered to Brazil in the same year.
2005
The company and workforce both developed rapidly, enabling us to welcome our first apprentices as early as 2005. Since then, many young people have started their careers at AGTOS in a variety of professions.
2006
2006 saw commissioning of the first extension to our plant in Konin.
2008
A second construction phase followed in 2008, doubling the original production area, and ...
2014
... this was expanded again in 2014 through an extension consisting of a further factory premises with an office wing covering 2,700 m².
2016
The Emsdetten location also saw numerous conversions and expansions, with a new office wing also being added here in 2016. Overall, the team grew to more than 170 personnel.
2019
Rapid growth and increases in personnel numbers required the adaptation of processes, resulting in the introduction of an ERP system in 2019 that now links both locations. Decision-making channels at AGTOS will also be shorter in future, and efficient, high-quality production is assured.
2024
Following strong growth since 2001, the previous shareholders have decided to transfer their shares to SINTOKOGIO LTD. based in Nagoya, Japan, from December 2024 for the further, long-term development of AGTOS.
