AGI’s comprehensive Safety Management System (ASMS) proactively monitors and guides performance at its locations around the world. Safety is continuously assessed based on leading and lagging indicators, allowing each facility to work towards improving goals and ensuring standards are met or exceeded.

AGI Marshall has a rich local history. Well-known for its custom design and manufacturing expertise, the plant has produced equipment for the commercial fertilizer industry for nearly six decades. Established in 1968 under the name Layco, the company began as a conveyor repair and reconditioning shop that also built truck bumpers for area farmers and fertilizer dealers. Today, AGI Marshall and its team produce liquid and dry fertilizer solutions scaled to fit customer needs through engineering, project management, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance services. Products include tower blenders, batch blending, control systems, in-plant receiving, automated coating systems, conditioners / delumpers, performance mixers, declining weight / volumetric blend systems, conveyors, loadouts, and other material handling equipment.
According to Roberts, the manufacture of large, heavy-duty equipment presents unique safety challenges. For instance, the production of tanks and towers necessitate the use of overhead cranes. Constant communication, vigilance and adhering to strict protocols are crucial best practices.
“AGI Marshall has adopted a hands-free protocol for crane-operated product movement, along with regular safety audits, hazard observations, confined-space respirator tests, and training,” says Roberts. “Safety is our top priority and emphasized at every meeting to ensure employees know its importance. Our team’s concern for each other is our strength in preventing injuries.”
