1943 -
Theodore E. Clark founded Atlas
Industries, Inc., and started a small machine
shop in Woodville, Ohio. He began operations
with five employees and manufactured various
types of crankshafts, as well as, other
precision machined parts for the U.S. Government
to assist in the war effort.
1954 - Atlas’ reputation as a machining supplier
spread and the company started a new division in
the nearby village of Gibsonburg as the
continuing pattern of growth
called for another facility.
Atlas built the new plant for
the production of small and
medium size crankshafts for the
refrigeration and air compressor
industries. Since the original
structure was erected there have
been seven additions to the
Gibsonburg facility. The largest
expansion took place in 1996
with a 50,000 square foot
addition for a total of
135,000 square
feet.
1971 - Atlas acquired a site in Fremont,
Ohio which was used for warehousing
until 1973 when it was expanded
into a machining facility. The
Fremont Plant has since been
expanded on four occasions, the
most recent of which took place
in 2006 with a 58,000 square
foot addition. This addition
facilitated our growth into new
markets for the machining of
very large crankshafts. This
plant now covers 138,000 square
feet on a 32 acre site.
1986 - Atlas opened another machining plant in
Tiffin, Ohio to facilitate new customer growth.
This step increased the total manufacturing and
warehousing capacity of the company by 260,000
square feet on a 32 acre site. The Tiffin facility also became the
new home for Atlas’ Machine Tools Division (MTD),
which was relocated from the Gibsonburg Plant in
1986. This Division designs, retrofits, and
rebuilds drilling, milling, turning, and
grinding equipment.
