The AGRU success story already spans seven decades. Founded in 1948, the company is now regarded among the most important suppliers for piping systems, semi-finished products, concrete protective liners and geomembranes made of engineering plastics. Special semi-finished products including sheets, blocks, round bars, welding rods and liner pipes made of polyolefins, such as PE and PP, as well as fluorinated polymers like PVDF, ECTFE, FEP and PFA, are used for premium apparatus and tank construction worldwide.

Grupo Quero has received a PLA welding rod pallet for the manufacture of coronavirus protective masks from AGRU.

The modernization of a sulfuric acid plant in Talara, Peru by PH Technology (Spain) also included the design and manufacture of this acid-resistant stack made with ECTFE dual-laminate from AGRU Kunststofftechnik.
