Atlas Devices
Atlas Devices LLC, with 16 employees in Boston, Massachusetts, is a global supplier of innovative equipment for rapid tactical access, fire and rescue, industrial access, and the energy industry. The company supports the U.S. Government and a growing number of foreign countries with its range of technologies, which include lightweight tactical ladders for urban access, vessel boarding, and bridging applications, a range of grappling hook launchers, and its flagship product, a portable powered rope ascender that enables rescuers to “reverse-rappel” up buildings and ships with loads up to 600 pounds attached.
Atlas currently has exports to markets across North America, Europe, and Asia, and due to exporting, increased employment by 20 percent, adding an additional 3 employees to their existing 13.
- Exports increased employment by 20%
- 50% of total sales from exports
“Thanks to exports, which account for over 50 percent of Atlas’ total sales, Atlas has doubled its company base every year for the past 3 years. We’re excited about the prospects of easier trade between the U.S. and the EU that could be enabled by T-TIP.”
