BEMVINDO A ATLAS BRAZIL
Nowadays, development and production are global tasks. We manufacture the leather parts of our safety shoes in our factory in the south of Brazil. The production facilities of ATLAS are located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, near the Argentine border, in the university town of Lajeado and in Bom Retiro.
The core values of the ATLAS brand have always been quality and value. We place particularly high demands on our products so that people are optimally protected in the working environment and at the same time a high degree of wearing comfort is guaranteed. As a result, we process refined, high-quality leather.
In the south of Brazil, the Black Angus is one of the cattle breeds to graze on an enormous grassy plain, which is jokingly called "the largest cow pasture in the world". A quality product that is more than just a material is produced from the cattle skins. The leather quality offers the best wearing comfort and is particularly durable.
A VERY SPECIAL CONNECTION
Every day the uppers for our shoes are made from these high-performance materials in many precise steps and with the help of the latest manufacturing technologies. More than 1,200 employees here use state-of-the-art machines to produce our high-quality shafts: the shoe uppers. The next stage is final assembly which is followed by an ultimate quality control, before the finished shoe uppers start their journey to Dortmund.
The modern equipment of the buildings and the use of advanced technologies offer excellent working conditions for the workforce. Just like the free day care centre, which with its all-day care and meals offers a very special advantage for the staff in Bom Retiro.
The bond between the German and Brazilian workforces is very strong. Since the cities in the region of Rio Grande do Sul were founded by Germans and Italians in the period from 1830 to 1850, about 40% of the employees speak German due to their origin. As a result of this cultural link, all corporate communication is made easier and so over the years many personal friendships have developed within the company.
