Aggressive Grinding Service, Inc. Adds New Machine Capacity
Latrobe, PA – Aggressive Grinding Service, Inc. continues to invest in the growth of the super hard materials industry, including advanced ceramics. The company recently added new equipment to their existing capacity with the addition of four Kellenberger Kel-Vista OD/ID grinders and three new Super-Tec Centerless grinders to complement the four new Rollo-Matic np5 Shapesmart peel grinders that were delivered to Aggressive Grinding Service, Inc. in August. This new equipment will add significant capacity and capability to support the existing customer base and enable new customers to receive the same 3-5 day delivery service that AGS provides to current customers.
