Advanced Gauging Technologies (AGT) is the premier isotope thickness gauging company in the steel service center market. AGT services over 300 isotope thickness gauges across North America including the GR100, GR200, GR2000, DMC 410, DMC 450, Loral 3500, Weston 5310, Measurex 350 and our very own AGT400.

In 1983 Ron Cook made the decision to start a new business. He envisioned a company based solely around customer service and satisfaction. CORON was created to perform semi-annual service and leak tests on Gamma 100 isotope thickness gauges.

In 1996 Ron’s son, Scott Cook, left a billion dollar corporation, and became a Field Service Technician for CORON. Joining his father on the road, Scott and Ron traveled all over North America taking care of customers with isotope thickness gauges. The following year the two of them combined their customer service, sales, purchasing, and management skills to co-found Advanced Gauging Technologies, L.L.C.

Both Ron and Scott listened to their customer’s dissatisfaction with the outdated technology of all the gauges on the market and made the decision to design a gauge for the next century. They used the advice of all their customers to make the most user friendly and cost effective gauge on the market today. The team decided to hire Michael C. Bertin Ph.D., the original GR100 designer, to develop the AGT400. AGT’s reputation for customer satisfaction was so good that eight AGT400 systems were ordered before there was even a working prototype!

Since then the AGT400 has gone through many changes. Many of which were suggestions from our customers. The AGT400 has evolved as the best all around gauge in its price range.

AGT has expanded its team in the last few years. John Fearing was hired in 2000 as a field service engineer. John’s background reads as a who’s who of thickness gauging. He has worked for the biggest names in the gauging business including Weston/Loral, and Measurex/Radiometrie. John obtained his Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology from DeVry Institute of Technology in Columbus, Ohio in March 1989 and has been working in the gauging business ever since.

Dan Marchio was hired in March 2001 after graduating from DeVry Institute of Technology with an Associate of Applied Science in Electronics and Computer Technology. Dan joined the team at A.G.T. to perform such duties as assembly and testing of the AGT400, and service of the many brands of isotope thickness gauges we now support.

Chad Weese was hired in September of 2001 as a field service engineer. Chad obtained his electronics training and experience during his six years in the U.S. Navy as an Electronics Warfare Technician. His time in the service included four and a half years stationed aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.

AGT has grown into a full service gauging company designed around customers needs and continues to grow.
