Its customers include textile and fiber manufacturers, the wood and chemical industries, the paper and pulp industry, automotive suppliers and the automotive industry.

AGATEX also acts as a contract manufacturer and thus offers its customers an additional flexibility advantage and the opportunity to increase their own production capacity in line with demand. The overriding corporate objective of AGATEX is the customer-oriented provision of products and services that meet the highest quality standards and usage requirements. Certification to DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 14001 as well as REACH are therefore just as much a matter of course as permanent and consistent quality management.

The core of the AGATEX product range consists of textile and fiber auxiliaries, surface-active products, defoamers and deaerators, surface protection as well as lubricants and processing agents. AGATEX also offers products and services for refrigeration technology.
