History

Building the future of display technology

Since its origins, AGLA has explored the potential of electronics, lighting and variable messaging to create technologies that bring information into the environment.

What began as a technical and craft-driven approach has evolved into a full-stack company, combining hardware, software, electronics, mechanics, design and engineering into integrated solutions for parking, filling stations, sport and dynamic information.

Since 1985

The beginning of a vision

AGLA’s story begins with its founders investigating the potential of electronics and lighting applied to variable messaging.

This early research became the foundation for a company built around one clear idea: making information visible, useful and integrated into the places where people need it.

1994

AGLA is founded

AGLA is founded as a new company with a solid technical base and a deep knowledge of the market.

From the beginning, the company focuses on the design and production of LED signs and variable message panels, developing solutions created to combine reliability, visibility and environmental integration.

1998

Swatch Group agreement

AGLA starts working on electronic billboards and consoles for top brands such as Omega, Tissot and Longines.

This milestone strengthens the company’s experience in high-performance display systems and opens new opportunities in fields where precision, visibility and reliability are essential.

2000

First European LED priceline

AGLA becomes one of the first European companies to adopt LED displays for the visualization of fuel prices in service stations.

This step marks a key moment in the company’s development and confirms its role in bringing LED technology into high-demanding outdoor environments.

2004

Olympic Games

Thanks to the quality of its products and its cooperation with Omega, AGLA devices are selected for the Olympic Games.

This achievement confirms the reliability of AGLA technology in contexts where every detail matters and performance must be precise, immediate and consistent.

2016

Introducing AI technology

AGLA founds Argo Vision, a start-up where the company’s strong experience in engineering and production merges with expertise in computer vision.

This milestone expands AGLA’s technological path and opens new perspectives for intelligent systems, advanced detection and integrated information.

2019

Scaling the company

AGLA begins a deep internal innovation process to face future challenges and support the growth of the international market.

This phase reinforces the company’s full-stack approach, where design, electronics, mechanics, software and production work together as part of a single ecosystem.

AGLA today

Information, exactly where it is needed

AGLA dreams of a world where the environment smoothly provides people with all the information they need, right when they need it.

Today, this vision guides the company across its main fields of application: parking, filling stations, sport and dynamic information.

Through meaningful integration of technology into the environment, AGLA continues to design solutions where simplicity, beauty, care and performance work together.
