LINE TECH AG was founded in 1993 as a management buyout from FAG (Switzerland). The success story of LINE TECH began with four employees. In the same year, the company moved to Industriestrasse 47 in Glattbrugg.
Thanks to the continuous expansion of our business, we were also able to enter into a sales partnership with NSK some three years later. In 2001, the trading program was completed with cpc (Chieftek) products, which today are an important pillar in LINE TECH’s business portfolio.
Besides the trade expansion, our own products continued to develop strongly. At that time, only the program positioning units were taken over by FAG. Today, customers can choose from three different product groups of different sizes and different drive variants.
Gradually, the premises at Industriestrasse became too small. In mid-2003, we moved into new premises with modern infrastructure at Europastrasse 19 in Glattbrugg.

The supremediscipline: construction of complete grippers
Companies who wish for complete solutions can also obtain finished grippersfrom AGS.
The major advantage is that Schwope, with his team of currently fiveemployees, can always find the appropriate solution to a specific problemstatement.
“We ponder over a task until we have found the best possibleresult”, Franz Schwope explains, “with this solution-orientedapproach, new ideas also constantly emerge of course.“
The customers benefitfrom Franz Schwopes’ 30 years of experience, not only in the form of perfectlysophisticated grippers, but also through economical manufacturing costs.
AGSoften dispenses with the cost-intensive planning of a gripper on the “drawingboard” and the company immediately proceeds to action instead.
Around theproblem presented by the customer, i.e. a component to be gripped, AGS buildsup the gripper and therefore finds the appropriate solution straight away withdirect reference to practice. Elaborate and often fruitless planning phases aretherefore omitted.
The previous premises of the Bergisch Gladbachcompany have already become too small in the shortness of time.
The first sodwill be cut for the new manufacturing and assembly areas in February. Over anarea of 1200 m² and subsequently also with a markedly larger number ofemployees,
AGS GmbH will then develop and market even more innovative solutionsfor grippers.
