AGVE Group
The AGVE Group is a leading provider of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and control devices, having 60 dedicated employees worldwide. We keep the AGV design and the manufacturing in-house and have sold more than 2.500 vehicles and 3.500 control units throughout the world. From single components for automated guided vehicle control, to fully integrated material handling systems, we offer a wide range of products featuring standard, as well as custom-built, vehicles.
The founding of the company
The company was founded based on the business model of developing, manufacturing, and marketing high class controls for AGVs, with the first customer being GM. We were one of the first companies with PC-based AGV control and even today we develop and manufacture our own electronic platform for Automated Guided Vehicles.
Since 1989 we have supplied various types of complete AGVs and have completed more than 130 different designs. Our wide range of load capacities, lift heights, and navigation methods is unique. We can also combine all types of navigation methods in the same automated guided vehicle and layout.
AGVE worldwide
Together with AGVE Korea (ABVeK), we have delivered a large number of highly tailored solutions for big South Korean enterprises. Through the years we have also acquired and merged with different companies around the world.
- In 2013 AGVE acquired Simatic, a Swedish-based system integrator with more than 30 installations in northern Europe.
- In 2014, AGV Solutions was established as a sales, commissioning, and aftermarket organization for the North and South American Markets.
- In 2015, AGVE merged with Scarabee Logistic Systems (SLS), who has been running in the Netherlands since 1987, and who has been very active in high-tech logistic automation in the European market.
- Also in 2015, we set up AGV Limited to provide Automated Guided Vehicle systems and service in the UK.
