About Atlas Equipment Co.

We exist to help distributors destroy downtime.

Our entire team brings unparalleled experience to the battle against downtime. The most important relationship is with each of our distributors. We work together, we listen. We help their customers run longer, more safely and profitably, and get exactly what they need when they need it. Suppliers, machinists, skilled repair and assembly folks, shipping and inventory pros work as one to help our customers succeed. No excuses.

The quality of the product is a given. The quality of our relationships is no less important.
