About AEGIS TOOLS INTERNATIONAL, INC.®
In a nutshell: AEGIS Tools International, Inc. designs, manufactures and sells a full line of windshield repair equipment and auto glass installation tools.
A little history: Our roots go back to 1982, when Robert Birkhauser invented the first AEGIS Windshield Repair System for use by Auto Glass Specialists, Inc., his family's chain of auto glass installation centers headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. In those days, windshield repair was an emerging service available primarily from repair-only franchises. Viewed as a serious threat to the auto glass replacement industry, windshield repair reduced the demand for replacement and directed referrals away from replacement shops. Never daunted by a challenge, the Birkhausers decided to offer repair as an additional service, but needed high-quality tools without franchise fees. Within a short time, the AEGIS Windshield Repair System was designed, tested and awarded two patents. Marketing began to other auto glass replacement businesses worldwide. Over the years, AEGIS designed innovative glass installation tools and refinements to their windshield repair system. In 2006, the Birkhausers sold the Auto Glass Specialists installation centers to Belron North America but retained AEGIS Tools International, Inc. which is now a separate corporation.
Today: AEGIS Tools International, Inc. is a small, family-run business still located in Madison, Wisconsin. AEGIS' tools and equipment are sold worldwide through a network of distributors and our website. Our specialties are custom-configured windshield repair kits, and tools to make glass installations safer and more efficient. Constantly innovating, our staff engineers bring new ideas from concept to design, while a talented group of glass technicians assist in making our tools the best in the industry. AEGIS prides itself on using components that are made in the mid-west and assembled at and shipped from our Madison, Wisconsin production facility.
Our Pledge: AEGIS strives to provide the highest quality products, service and customer support at a competitive price. Trust experience. Trust AEGIS Tools.
