Atlas Machine and Supply, Inc., founded in 1907,[1] is one of the largest heavy capacity industrial machinery engineering, manufacturing, and remanufacturing centers in the United States. The company performs field machining repairs onsite for industries located throughout the United States and around the world.
Atlas also designs and repairs industrial compressors and related equipment.
History
In 1907, the company was officially formed by the Gimmel family from Switzerland who immigrated to the United States roughly 30 years before then. Manufacturing began with elevators at a small shop in downtown Louisville in Kentucky. In the decades which followed, Atlas gradually expanded its machine shop and industrial engineering capabilities to include the repair, design, and remanufacturing of heavy industrial machinery. Atlas also became a compressor distributor in the 1940s and continues to provide compressed air solutions today.
Other expanded capabilities included the launch of a division for field machining in 2011, which mirrors its machine shop capabilities for customers with on-site repair needs.[2] Atlas further expanded its onsite expertise with a new laser tracking metrology service in 2012, allowing for completing large-scale machining jobs at the customer's job site.
