Convergix Automation Solutions - United Kingdom
Arbroath Scotland automation integrator (ex-AGR Automation, Convergix since 2022); ~130 staff; robotic assembly and vision for life sciences.
AGR Automation Limited, operating as a Convergix Automation Solutions company in the United Kingdom, is a bespoke automation design and systems integration firm headquartered at Elliot Industrial Estate, Arbroath, Scotland DD11 2NJ. The business was originally established in 1970 and operates approximately 130 employees across three UK locations — Arbroath (Scotland), Aylesbury (England, via subsidiary Aylesbury Automation), and a presence in Northern Ireland.
In August 2022, Crestview Partners-backed Convergix Automation Solutions completed the acquisition of AGR Automation and its subsidiary Aylesbury Automation. This acquisition marked Convergix's first European foothold, extending its global platform across North America, Europe, and Asia. The website agr-automation.com continues to serve as the UK operating brand under the Convergix umbrella.
AGR Automation's core capabilities center on custom, high-performance automation for the life sciences and consumer goods industries. Technical specialties include vibratory and centrifugal feeding and orientation technologies, SCARA and six-axis robotic assembly and handling cells, robotic process simulation, automated assembly and packaging systems (rotary and linear), automated test and inspection systems, and finished product packaging and boxing. The company has deep expertise in vision recognition integrated into inspection and quality control lines.
Primary served markets are pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing, where precision, cleanliness, and regulatory compliance are critical. The life sciences focus differentiates AGR from general-purpose integrators. The Aylesbury Automation subsidiary (1 Chamberlain Rd, HP19 8DY, Aylesbury; tel: +44 1296 314300) brings additional packaging automation expertise. AGR's combination with Convergix's global network expands its capacity to deliver complex multi-site programs to international customers.
