DEK and AGI Expand Stencil Franchise Relationship; Add Facility in Florida

As AGI Tooling Corporation Branch Manager, Bill Brown, explains, growing its stencil business with DEK’s backing was an easy decision to make. “DEK’s support and technical guidance have been outstanding and have enabled our Huntsville business to thrive. We look forward to duplicating this experience in Tampa and opening access to DEK stencil technologies to an even wider base of electronics assembly professionals.”

Like AGI’s Huntsville, Alabama facility, the Florida operation will be equipped with some of the most sophisticated stencil manufacturing equipment available and will be managed and operated by a well-trained staff with over 50 years of combined industry experience. Supported by DEK’s state-of-the-art DPSS fiber laser and software tools, AGI’s stencil capabilities include easy online order placement and data transfer via an ITAR-compliant secure server, 24-hour quick-turn order fulfillment, the ability to produce a variety of frame sizes ranging from 20” x 20” to 29” x 34” and implementation of the latest technology for production of precise foils. AGI is also a licensed manufacturer of DEK’s award-winning VectorGuard® stencil technology, making its product offering even more comprehensive and customizable for individual customer requirements.

“The DEK-AGI franchise relationship has been immensely productive and positive for both companies and for our customers,” comments DEK’s Global Engineered Products Manager, David Byrd. “Clearly, the success of this endeavor further validates our shared philosophies of superb customer service, rigorous production standards and technology leadership, which are the factors that have enabled the addition of a second DEK-AGI stencil franchise.”
