AGM Container Controls, Inc.

New AGM Blog Format Starting in January 2011!

Starting in January 2011, we will have a new format for our blog posts that will feature application stories of AGM products.

While the blog posts will be monthly, rather than weekly, we believe that the application stories will provide you with more information on how AGM products (used alone or in conjunction with other AGM products) will help protect your products from the damaging effects of moisture, pressure changes, vacuum changes, shock, and vibration.

If you have any questions about AGM products or your specific applications, please contact us at 1-800-995-5590. We look forward to working with you.

View Container Contents without Opening Your Container

An observation window allows you to view container contents without opening the container. This is critical when your container has moisture-sensitive products or equipment since moisture can enter the container when you open it for viewing purposes. It also saves on the labor of opening the container for inspection purposes.
