History

The Gimmel family immigrated from Switzerland to Louisville in the 1870s. In 1907, the company was officially formed and began operations manufacturing elevators at a small shop in downtown Louisville. In the decades that 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 Field Machining division in 2011 that mirrors its machine shop capabilities for customers with on-site repair needs.[2] Atlas further expanded its onsite expertise with the addition of a new Laser Tracking metrology service in 2012 which allows for completing large-scale machining jobs at the customer's job site.
