AGLMade in Brazil
AGL started making locks in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, in 1984. Today it is one of the three largest gate operator makers in Brazil.
A family business that became an industry.
Antônio Lúcio da Silva founded AGL in Divinópolis in 1984 to make locks. The company moved into electronic security and grew into eight product lines: gate operators, locks, intercoms, access control, CCTV, cameras, smart home and energy.
It is now run by the founder's three children, Ana Cecília, Gabriel and Luis Guilherme Nogueira da Silva. AGL is Brazil's leading maker of electric locks and one of its three largest gate operator manufacturers, exporting across Latin America and Africa.
