Issue 12 - January, 2005

Introduction

Advanced Gauging Technologies (A.G.T.) was founded in 1997 by the father and son team of Ron and Scott Cook. Their goal was to bring isotope thickness gauging into the 21st century. In just over four years since the first AGT400 system startup, A.G.T. has sold more than 115 gauging systems – strong evidence that customers feel we have delivered tomorrow's gauging system today. In addition to our own gauges, we perform regular service on more than 300 of our competitors' gauges throughout North America.

The Gauging Times™ is a quarterly newsletter designed to keep current and future customers up-to-date with the latest thickness gauging technology and features, along with services we offer. In each issue we'll share some of our system's unique capabilities, in addition to personal profiles, technical tips and glimpses of our future product development.

AGT Makes The Move!

We are pleased to announce that A.G.T. has moved! After seven years of building gauges, servicing competitor's gauges, and assisting over 165 customers in a 2,500 square foot building, A.G.T. has now made the move to a new 12,000 square foot facility which will be shared with Scott's other company - INTENSE Enterprises (www.INTENSE-Racing.com).

This move will allow us to grow for years to come. We have enough room to add on another 8,500 square feet for future expansion. We have come a long way since Ron and Scott started out in a small garage. Ron would be very proud with the progress his company has made and will continue to make.

Upgrade / Replacement Of Obsolete Gauging Systems

The year 2004 has turned out to be the best year in the history of A.G.T. for many reasons including the sales of the AGT400 Thickness Gauge & S.P.C. Reporting Package. Below is a list of some of the customers who have purchased one or more systems up to press time of The Gauging Times™.

We wish to thank all of our customers for making us the #1 gauging company in the service center market!
