Agfa-Gevaert N.V. is a Belgian-German multinational corporation that develops, manufactures, and distributes an extensive range of analogue and digital imaging products, software, and IT solutions. The company primarily serves the printing industry and the healthcare sector, as well as specific industrial applications. Agfa's headquarters and parent company are located in Mortsel, Belgium. The Group's operational activities are divided into three main divisions: Digital Print & Chemicals, Radiology Solutions, and HealthCare IT. Each of these divisions holds strong market positions and operates with well-defined strategies. Agfa's history dates back to 1867 when a color dye factory was established near Berlin, which later became AGFA (Aktien-Gesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation) in 1873. Separately, in 1894, Lieven Gevaert founded L. Gevaert & Cie in Antwerp, Belgium, initially focusing on photographic paper. These two entities eventually merged in 1964 to form Agfa-Gevaert.

Today, Agfa is a global enterprise with commercial activities worldwide, supported by wholly owned sales organizations in over 40 countries. In regions where Agfa does not have a direct sales presence, a network of agents and representatives serves the market. The company operates manufacturing plants in multiple countries, with its largest production and research centers situated in Belgium, the United States, Canada, Germany, Austria, China, and Brazil. This global footprint enables Agfa to cater to the specific needs of diverse markets, mitigate currency fluctuation risks, and optimize transportation costs. Agfa is committed to innovation and strives to be the partner of choice for imaging and information systems within its operational markets. The company's offerings include offset printing plates, computer-to-plate systems, workflow software, large-format inkjet printers and inks, medical imaging information systems, digital and computed radiography equipment, and various specialized films and materials.
