The “make, not buy” philosophy that has inspired
AGLA since its inception is reflected in the 20
patents it has filed over the years, including the
ones relating to the production of a Hirth toothed
coupling by coining and the visco-damper with
axial damping. More generally, all the AGLA patents
can be classified into two major technological
specialisations: metal forming and vibration
mechanics, the skill underpinning the torsional
vibration dampers designed by AGLA PT.
