Making Things Happen Since 1952: A Legacy of Customer Commitment

For over 70 years, our company has been built on a foundation of exceptional customer service, innovation, and reliability. What started in 1952 as Gopher Electronics has grown into Agility Engineering & Manufacturing Solutions, but our mission remains the same: to provide outstanding support, cutting-edge solutions, and a personal touch that sets us apart.
Looking Back: A 1989 SnapshotIn October 1989, our company newsletter proudly stated:
“We have the best Customer Service team around, strengthened by the most technologically advanced tools in the industry. Just call us to make things happen!”

At the time, Gopher Electronics was leading the way in customer service with:

• A highly trained Inside Sales team ready to “make things happen”
• One of the most advanced computer systems in the industry
• A $2 million inventory of passive/electromechanical components
• Same-day shipping for orders placed before 2 PM
• A commitment to custom stocking solutions to support Just-In-Time (JIT) programs

This dedication to proactive, customer-focused service became the backbone of our company—and it remains just as strong today.
