AGSCO Expands Blasting Equipment Service in the Chicago and NY/NJ Metro Areas
AGSCO Corporation, an Industrial Minerals and Abrasive Blasting Equipment Distributor based in the Chicago and the New York/New Jersey metro areas, has recently upgraded and expanded its service department to satisfy the needs of our abrasive blasting customers. Blast equipment is generally used in a rough environment and often can meet with unexpected breakdowns. AGSCO has long supported the equipment it sells with service in the field and at its service centers. “In addition to our field sales representatives, who can do minor repairs and consultation on the spot, we have put on more repair mechanics to get our customers back to work faster”, commented Harvey Plonsker, President.
Of course, the repair shops are backed by a massive inventory of parts representing the major blast equipment manufacturers in the country. AGSCO offers parts and equipment from Axxiom/Schmidt , Clemco/Zero, Bullard, Nova, and many others.
In the Chicago area, call Jim Connelly, Inside Sales and Service Manager, 847-520-4455.
In Metro New York/New Jersey, call Rob Kirschbaum, Vice President, 201-393-0300.

AGSCO forms strategic partnership with Clifford Estes after 3M exits market
AGSCO Corporation has historically been one of the largest distributors and blenders of 3M Colorquartz for flooring or pool applications. However, in 2009, 3M withdrew Colorquartz from the marketplace leaving the industry scrambling to find a quality replacement for their customers. In an extensive qualification process, AGSCO identified Clifford Estes’ Ceramaquartz granules as a viable alternative to 3M.
However, one problem in a seamless transition from 3M to Estes products still existed. The colors, sizing, and grain shape of the two product lines did not match. In partnership with AGSCO, Estes agreed to match all of the established 3M colors, sizing, and grain shape, making the modified Ceramaquartz product nearly indistinguishable from the former market leader. All the popular colors in the former S- and T-grades will be produced in the Ceramaquartz product line.
AGSCO will continue to provide you with pallets or truckloads of ceramically bonded granules including the complete Estes’ colored aggregate product line, and vinyl chips. In addition, AGSCO can custom blend your pool plaster or floor mix and bag it up for easy distribution. Please call us to discuss your needs. In Chicago, 847-520-4455 or in New Jersey, 201-393-0300.
