About us

Agito, an innovative, international consulting and software distribution company specializing in the modelling, analysis and simulation of hydraulic, electrical and fluid systems. For more than 30 years, Agito engineers have gained extensive knowledge of control systems and dynamic simulation. Our primary goal is to enable our clients to accurately analyse their dynamic systems. Our services include simulation projects, third-party reviews and verification.

SimulationX is developed by Keysight Technologies Deutschland GmbH in Germany, and it is the trend-setter in physical system simulation. Agito are proud to be working in partnership with Keysight Technologies Deutschland GmbH. SimulationX meets the specific needs of the offshore/subsea industry. It was the first universal CAE tool with subsea specific libraries. The libraries, which are developed by Agito and Keysight Technologies Deutschland, have ready to use subsea component models, such as; umbilical’s, subsea control modules, electrical power units, electrical junction boxes, transformer, subsea valves, deep-water accumulator, subsea compensators and ROV stabs.

Our history

Agito started in the 1990’s as a one man company within Hydraulic System Design. The idea was to give businesses the tools and experience they need to optimize their designs.

In 2004 Agito AS was established. The name Agito means “I set something in motion”. The company name was selected because Agito more accurately reflects the direction of the company.

Shortly after start-up, the target market was expanded to include all industries in software.

  • 2004

    Agito became the Scandinavian distributor for ITI GmbH dynamic analysis software.

  • 2007

    Agito entered a new partnership with ITI and opened the SimulationX Global Subsea Center. An alliance for modern development of oil and gas offshore systems.

  • 2011

    Agito became the Norwegian distributor for Applied Flow Technology software.

  • 2011

    Agito Technical Dynamics opened in the United Kingdom.

  • 2012

    Agito opened a branch office in Houston, Texas.

  • 2012

    Agito Technical Dynamics do Brasil opened in Rio de Janeiro.

In 2015 the oil and gas market dropped abruptly. This also hit Agito, and the staff was reduced significantly. During 2018 and 2019 it slowly recovered, until the pandemic hit in 2020. Partly because of the pandemic, and partly because of generally low generation of business, the company in Brazil and the branch office in Houston were closed down in 2020 and 2022, respectively. Currently, all markets are served out of Norway. In November 2024, Agito entered an exciting new era when the company was acquired by Xcelerated Prototyping Inc.
