Atlas Copco Tools & Assembly Systems, the U.S. arm of a Swedish company, hit some significant speed bumps when the recession hit in 2008. Since then, the Auburn Hills-based company has continued to gain traction, going from 187 employees in 2009 to 328 employees and a few interns today.
Atlas Copco Tools & Assembly Systems is a supplier of hand-held electric and pneumatic tools, assembly systems and software. It also does work with heavy industrial vehicles. A steady increase in demand for those products have led the company to continue to hire in recent years to the point that it is looking at moving to a bigger facility to accommodate its growth.
"We want to continue our steady growth," says Domenic Calagna, marketing & communications specialist for
Atlas Copco Tools & Assembly Systems. "We have a really good business plan."
Atlas Copco Tools & Assembly Systems was also recognized as the No. 84 firm in F
orbes 2012 list of The World's Most Innovative Companies.
