COMPANY PROFILECOMPANY PROFILE

Page 2: ATL Group - Company profile

THEHISTORYThe history of ATL Group begins with the experience of the Cooperative Company CIPES and the expanded polyurethane processing activity. Over the years, through a series of start-ups and acquisitions of local businesses, ATL Group became a leading company of the Romagna district in production of upholstered furniture (sofas, chairs, beds and sofa beds) integrating both upstream and downstream all stages of the production chain.

CIPES was founded in 1976, a cooperative company made up of 11 associates. The activity con-sists of the transformation of expanded polyurethane and polyester padding for furniture, then extended to quilting of fabrics intended for furniture and clothing.

In 1985, TRE ERRE spa, located in Bertinoro (FC), a leading manufacturing company of high-quali-ty products for the international market of the chain Roche Bobois, becomes the largest CIPES customer.

In 1991 ATELIER ITALIA srl, later transformed into a spa, founded & controlled by the cooperative company CIPES. In that year the construction of the first industrial building owned by the compa-ny was started in Forlì, in Via A. Einstein n. 28, this establishment remained as the main production site until 2012. The business goal of ATELIER ITALIA is the expansion on the Italian and European market of semi-finished products for furniture production.

In 1991 PIU'MO srl was started in collaboration with the Minardi family from Lugo, well-known manufacturers in the field of feathers, to expand the product range of sofas padding.

In 1997 ATELIER ITALIA started an important collaboration with "IKEA International" for the Italian market; in the same year ATELIER ITALIA is awarded by IKEA International as the best sup-plier of the year.

In 2002 ATELIER ITALIA joins the share capital of TRE ERRE spa, which at the time was going through a period of economic and financial crisis, and in the years 2003 - 2004, along with IMMOBILIARE SANDRA s.r.l., member of TECNOFIBRA holding from Como, long-standing ATE-LIER ITALIA supplier, acquires 100% of the share capital of TRE ERRE.

In 2005, in the orbit of TRE ERRE spa, LA SQUADRA srl was launched, a company focused on mid-range products marketing for the export market for chains of furniture "Cuir Center" and "Maison Coloniale".

In the following years, thanks to significant investments in technology, in the reorganization of work and the care of commercial relations with the main customer, the chain "Roche Bobois", the group TRE ERRE – LA SQUADRA has been able to increase its turnover by approx 50%, consoli-dating and increasing the employment level in the area.

In 2009 ATELIER ITALIA s.p.a. incorporates by fusion TRE ERRE s.p.a. and LA SQUADRA srl and changes its name to the current ATL GROUP spa.

In 2010, IKEA moved production abroad and ATL GROUP starts a new relationship with the well-known chain "Poltronesofà".

In 2012 ATL GROUP s.p.a. carries out an important project of production reorganization through the takeover and the reconversion of the industrial complex ex OMSA in Faenza, where the regis-tered office and operating units of Forlì are moved to. The project envisages to realize in the new factory in Faenza an innovative and at the cutting-edge production facility that allows the compa-ny to approach the most demanding and competitive markets with the best quality/price ratio.

ATL Group, in collaboration with the brand "Roche Bobois" has participate for more than twenty years at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, with important awards and feedback.

Thanks to these long-term relationships at the international level, the company has acquired a qualified know-how in the planning and management of production, in the care of business rela-tions, in the maintenance of high quality standards, in its relations with third parties and in the compliance with norms and commercial and financial conventions around the world.

This know-how is the result of the experience gained by the company, by its management and all workers and employees, which have been able to increase their skills.

The Design Team is made up of about twenty employees of high professionalism and expresses high skills in developing the best solutions for quality and comfort, combined with more efficient and functional product industrialization. Even this advantage distinguishes ATL Group from other manufacturers, and makes it particularly appreciated by customers which in years renew their choice and their trust.

ATL Group carries out all activities in the production cycle of upholstered furniture: woodworking for frames, the transformation of polyurethane, of padding, processing of feather, in white pro-cessing, leather and fabric cutting, sewing, the finishing and assembly process. The production is under strict quality control, and even when, due to higher volumes of orders, the company avails itself of the collaboration of sub-contractors for some phase of the production cycle, these sub-contractors are pre-selected and constantly monitored in accordance with the production and quality standards imposed by the company.

The work and experience of ATL Group are well summarized in our motto, coined by a long-time and faithful customer as an expression of respect for ATL Group efforts :

"ATL Group, the best place to produce your sofa!"
