AGY Holding Corp. Company Profile

Glass and yarns usually go together in a pub frequented by sailors, but AGY Holding Corp. (formerly Advanced Glassfiber Yarns and its subsidiaries) brings them together in a business. The company produces glass yarns (thin filaments of glass twisted together to form advanced yarn or fiber), which are used in myriad aerospace, automotive, construction, defense, electronics, industrial, and recreational applications. The US military, for example, reinforces Humvees and other armored vehicles with AGY's proprietary glass fiber. AGY products are differentiated by glass chemistry, coating technology, and form; brands include L Glass, S-2 Glass, and S-1 HM Glass. Private equity Kohlberg & Co. owns AGY Holding.
