Activation Geological Services (AGS) is now Cotecna Chile
As part of our growth strategy and brand strengthening efforts, we are pleased to announce that Activation Geological Services (AGS) is officially adopting the Cotecna Chile identity.
This change represents much more than a new image. It reflects the evolution of our organization, the expansion of our capabilities, and the trust our clients have placed in us. It also reinforces a long-term vision supported by the expertise, resources, and global reach of the Cotecna Group.
Cotecna's history in Chile began several decades ago, providing inspection and supervision services to the agricultural sector. In 2023, the acquisition of AGS marked a strategic milestone, strengthening the Group's presence in one of the world's most important mining markets. Since then, we have worked to integrate the strengths of both organizations: AGS's recognized local expertise and technical know-how, combined with Cotecna's international network, quality standards, and global track record.
Today, as Cotecna Chile, we offer our clients a comprehensive portfolio of services that combines our expertise in the Metals & Minerals and Agriculture sectors. Through inspection, sampling, laboratory testing, quality control, and technical assurance services, we help improve the quality, traceability, and efficiency of the production chains that drive the country's development.
Our operations are supported by advanced technology, specialized infrastructure, and national and international accreditations, enabling us to deliver reliable, timely, and industry-specific solutions tailored to our clients' needs.
This new chapter reaffirms our commitment to creating value for our clients and strategic partners while maintaining the close relationships, technical excellence, and service-oriented approach that have defined our work over the years.
"Today, we begin a new chapter with enhanced capabilities, new opportunities for our clients, and the same commitment to excellence that has defined us from the very beginning. We look forward to continuing to build this exciting chapter of our story together." - César Gutiérrez, Country Manager, Chile and Business Development Manager, Metals & Minerals LATAM.
We look to the future with enthusiasm and confidence, convinced that this evolution will allow us to continue supporting our clients with increasingly robust solutions and global backing, contributing to the sustainable development of the productive sectors that drive Chile's growth.
