Excellence in Every Detail
We’ve heard it all before—the issues you’ve encountered with other machine builders aren’t uncommon. Maybe the machine didn’t hit the volume targets, or the support vanished when you needed it most. Pricing and delivery times turned out to be just wishful thinking.
At AGR, we do things differently. We take the time to be thorough. Our proposals are detailed, and we’ve rigorously evaluated your application to ensure we can deliver exactly what you need. No guesswork, just solid, reliable performance you can count on.
Better outcomes require a better approach. By starting with a full understanding of your business goals from your team’s perspective, we turn that transparency into a solution that meets your core objectives. Beyond just a URS and technical requirements, success comes from understanding the critical decision criteria, their relative importance, and your overall business goals.
Time is money in manufacturing, which is why we pride ourselves on delivering projects on time, every time. You can trust us to keep your production schedule on track, minimizing downtime and maximizing output.

Journey Through Our 80 Year History
For eight decades, we’ve been pioneering the field of assembly automation, crafting a legacy marked by innovation, reliability, and unwavering commitment to our customers. Join us on a journey through time as we recount our humble beginnings, monumental achievements, and the transformative growth that has shaped us into the industry leader we are today.
The Arthur G Russell Company opened for business in October, 1945 in a Forestville, Connecticut office. Arthur Russell opened the business as a place where the company’s founders could use their wartime responsibilities for underwater ordnance projects with the Naval Ordnance Laboratory to engineer and build special purpose machinery.
The company focused efforts on custom machinery to produce 8-penny nails, stranded small wire cable, packaged meat, bailed newspaper, and small assembled electrical components.
VibroBlock®, Uni-Clamp®, Uni-Place®, grippers, escapements, rotary actuators, to name a few. 23 patents awarded in the field of automation still used today.
AGR acquired Bodine Automation Technology in 2014, including its intellectual property, engineering/service operations, and parts inventory.
Founded in 1933 as Bodine Corporation, the company was an iconic brand and a recognized leader in automated assembly technology, primarily for the automotive, electrical, hardware, electronics, and consumer products industries.
Our business has expanded to a 100,000 square foot facility due to a great focus on quality, strong customer relationships, and being able to deliver world class assembly machines that our customers can rely on.
AGR expanded its automation capabilities with the acquisition of ProMATIC Automation, strengthening our ability to serve small and mid-sized manufacturers with flexible, high-quality automation solutions.
