About us
Founded in 2009 by industry veterans with a total of over 75 years of expertise, Agam develops and manufactures innovative, energy-conserving and environmentally friendly dehumidification, heating and cooling systems. Agam’s solutions serve the needs of horticultural and agricultural industries, including nurseries and recently developed medical cannabis industries in greenhouses, indoor cultivation and fixed structures.
Our aim is to get involved in the planning stage, whether for an upgrade or for a new project built from the ground up. Our engineers are highly experienced in finding the optimal location for our systems in the facility, allowing them to conserve maximal amounts of energy and the project to reduce expenses on wiring and plumbing constructions.
In 2014 Agam relocated to its current headquarters, a facility in Kiryat Malachi, central Israel, to accommodate the growing demand for our technology and solutions. We build our machines to order, with most orders accommodated within 90 days. All machines are fully assembled and tested prior to leaving the factory, simplifying the installation process.
Agam’s systems are extremely reliable, due to their simplicity, efficiency, and rigid quality control during their manufacturing process. Some of our units have been in continuous operation with little to no repairs necessary since 2015.
