Atlas Machine and Supply, Inc.
- Atlas Machine and Supply, Inc.
Atlas Machine and Supply, Inc., founded in 1907, is one of the largest heavy-capacity industrial machinery repair centers in the United States. The firm operates industrial machinery repair centers and distributes industrial pumps, air compressors, and related equipment. The company had 190 employees as of June 2007. Its main plant is in Louisville, Kentucky. Additional plants and repair centers are located in Cincinnati, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio and in Evansville, Indiana.
Atlas began operations manufacturing elevators at a small shop in downtown Louisville, and gradually expanded its machine shop and industrial engineering capabilities.
The company has been a beneficiary of the movement by U. S. manufacturers toward outsourcing functions that formerly were performed internally, i.e., plant equipment maintenance, engineering, and machinery modification.
In 2007, Atlas Machine had more than 3,000 industrial customers throughout North America, but concentrated in the Midwest and the Ohio Valley.
Atlas is in its fourth generation of ownership by the Gimmel family, which immigrated from Switzerland to Louisville in the 1870s.
The company's manufacturing facilities focus on the repair, design, and remanufacturing of heavy industrial machinery.
