About AGRU
More Than 40 Years of Partnership, Innovation, and Performance
Since 1984 Asahi/America and AGRU have worked together to advance the use of high-performance thermoplastic piping systems throughout North America. What began as a distribution partnership has evolved into one of the industry’s most respected collaborations, delivering corrosion-resistant piping solutions to critical industries including chemical processing, semiconductor manufacturing, water treatment, life sciences, mining, power generation, and industrial manufacturing.
Today, Asahi/America serves as the exclusive North American partner and distributor for many AGRU industrial piping technologies, combining AGRU’s world-class Austrian manufacturing expertise with Asahi/America’s engineering support, fabrication capabilities, inventory, training, and customer service infrastructure.
A Shared History of Thermoplastic Leadership
When thermoplastic piping systems were still emerging as viable alternatives to traditional metal piping Asahi/America partnered with AGRU of Austria for piping systems; to introduce corrosion-resistant thermoplastic solutions to the North American market. Together, the two companies helped educate engineers, contractors, and facility owners on the long-term benefits of thermoplastics, including:
- Superior corrosion resistance
- Extended service life
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Improved chemical compatibility
- Enhanced system reliability
This partnership played a significant role in establishing thermoplastic piping as a trusted technology across industrial and high-purity applications throughout North America.
