With demand for portable grain handling equipment in Australia and New Zealand growing, Ag Growth International Inc. (AGI) is expanding its manufacturing capacity at its India-based AGI Bengaluru facilities to accommodate production of its flagship AGI Westfield and AGI brands.

“This initiative will increase our manufacturing capabilities in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and helps to lay the foundation for ongoing growth,” said Paul Householder, AGI President and CEO. “The successful completion of both the product transfer from our Canadian facilities and the production ramp-up at our AGI Bengaluru facilities ensures that no matter where in the world your AGI equipment is made, you receive the same excellence in quality, reliability and durability.”
