WORLDWIDE COMPETENCE IN PLASTICS

n the one hand, the purity of nature, the people and their living environment need to beprotected from pollution, humidity, corrosion, dirt...On the other hand, aggressive media need to flow securely, gases need to be enclosed

tightly, concrete needs to be protected...In-between is always AGRU - with plastics that guarantee safety and long lifetime.No matter if talking about piping systems or geomembranes, no matter what dimensions andapplications:

High-tech plastic products, service included.

INNOVATIONBeing out front and with an

eye to the future are living fundamentals of AGRU.Research and Development has always been

a key part of our company.The research objective is not only the realization according to

technical possibilities, but the absolute customer benefitin the sense of continuous improvement and new

market requirements.For the realization of these product innovations we use state-of-

the-art technology in our production facilities. Many extrusionand processing machines havebeen specifically developed for

the high requirements ofAGRU and are unique in the

world. CNC is standard, precision and high output is

a condition.

RESPONSIBILITYEach economic activity has the same

objective: success and subsequent qualityof life. Besides the benefit for our

customers and ourselves, our employees,environment and resources need to be the

focus of our actions.We are aware of this responsibility and

strongly emphasize environmentally-friendly production and recyclable raw

material - system solutions with afuture for following generations.

Responsibility for eachother also determines the relationship witheach other: with our employees, suppliers

and most of all with you, our customer.

In every form of energy,gases or fluids are transported or stored. Allgeomembranes of the ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY program meet the requirements of modern energy management up to biogas plants and renewable energies.

FOR CHEMICAL AND HEAVY INDUSTRY

The heavy oil flows under enormous pressure through the pipes, cuttings shape the inside of the pipe,on the connection sleeve the masswhirls with tremendous momentum…All around, the nature shines in saturatedgreen, an ideal world for flora and fauna…


Growing dimensions and increased requirements characterize this segment.Here we face a special challenge. The increasing requirementsof the global economy determine a considerable part of our developments – no two tasks are the same.In particular, our technical knowledge is needed in the chemical industry to give the most stable materials in every form and dimension.Low weight, long product life, inflammability behavior, electricalconductivity and UV resistance are the basic dailyrequirements. Here we offer custom-made solutions from process pipes to exhaust air.Tank manufacturing also requires quality for the safestorage of substances, as well as the protection of thehuman and its environment.First and foremost, the multitude in form, material and color of our SEMI FINISHED PRODUCTS is appreciated in large scaletank manufacturing.

SHIP BUILDING INDUSTRYAGRU products are mainly applied in the field of hangars and harbors, where the security of airplanes and ships is a key objective. Their high reliability more than exceeds the required safety standards.Low weight and long product life make their applicationeconomical.On request, we deliver piping systems and coatingsin a flame-resistant and electrically conductive design.

FOR MINING INDUSTRY

Gigantic machines make the surroundingsvibrate, detonations detach stone massesfrom the face, aggressive substances leachprecious elements from the stone...Humans and nature under incredible pressures.Supporting loose slopes, storing and trans-porting substances safely, transporting anddepositing solids – here the worker keepshis hand confidently on the steering wheel.


Worldwide, the mining industry has the largest dimensions, but also the highestmechanical and chemical load.Here with the high quality of piping systems,concrete protective liners andgeomembranes, humans and environmentare protected – safe for generations,reliable for the employees and population.

FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

On the 80th floor, the building sways 2 mdue to the force of the wind.People do not even realize – but realizedby the material. Pipes operate in shafts,hard particles rub against the protectiveliners…On the base, deep in the earth, there is afoundation – concrete under pressure fromall sides, imperiled by leachings and mecha-nical wear.


Particularly in building construction, the application of AGRU products is manifold – fromthe concrete protection of buildings, to warmand cold water supply indoors, the sewage, heating and air condition installation, the ventilation and roof sealing.Moreover, the AGRUAIR product program guarantees the secure supply of compressed air.Physiologically harmless to humans, simple andeasy to install for the construction industry. Thecontractor enjoys the safety of the building life-time. Tightness under maximum wear.

FOR UNDERGROUND ENGINEERING

The mountain presses water into itsinjured structure. Stones are carried along,fall on the tunnel tube, rub underfluctuating temperature. Under it, the brightly illuminated tunnel, controlledby electronic sensors, vibrations from 10000vehicles per day. Exhaust gas, heat, cold,wear from all sides.

Tunnels sealed by us not only cross mountains,but also the ocean. No matter if talking abouttransportation tunnels or sewage and irrigationchannels, channels and retention ponds, the firstpriority is absolute tightness for generations. In addition, our products specifically designedfor underground construction are environ-mentally friendly, resistant against corrosion andadhesion, and as a system flexible for everyapplication.


Mountains of garbage in the landscape, poorly separated residual waste batteryacid oozes out.Angular parts press against the landfill foil,the wheel loader compresses the wasteunder tremendous pressure – the landfill grows. In a few years, a greenhill will beautify the landscape. Trees will be strongly rooted in the soil. Future generations will live safe in in their hometown.

FOR LANDFILL AND HYDRAULIC ENGINEER


If the nature and environment should beprotected from aggressive media, if purewater should stay clean and if mechanicalwear, also caused by animals or roots shouldnot represent any danger, then the AGRU products for ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGYare the right choice.If ponds serve for pleasure, for fish cultivationor for the fire fighters, our geomembranes withdifferent surface structures can also be installedsecurely and easily on steep hills. High resistance and long product lifecharacterize AGRU geomembranes forlandfill engineering. The well-provenwelding technique guarantees an economicalinstallation. Concrete basins secured withAGRUSAFE excite industry and agriculture in the same way.
