Atom has been included among the 2023 Export Champions, the list derived from the initiative of the Sole 24 Ore and the international research company Statista, which includes the 250 Italian companies whose business is strongly oriented towards exports.

The research took into consideration manufacturing companies with a turnover between 1.5 and 500 million in 2021, a registered office in Italy and at least one production center in Italy. Statista has elaborated the ranking based on the export share, considering the ratio between the turnover from export activities and the total turnover in 2021.

Atom is included in the special ranking with an export share of 66.97%: a figure and a recognition that confirm the strong international DNA of the company, which today has four operating units and ten offices around the world.

Always attentive to the territory and its development, Atom supports the Assolombarda project “PAVIA SUPERNOVA”, which brings together all the actions to enhance the excellence of Pavia and its vocation to look at the future.

Companies that operate in the Pavia area represent the engine of the economic and social revitalization of their territory. This was recognized at a national level by the nomination of Pavia as “Capital of Corporate Culture 2023”, an award given every year by Confindustria to the city that stands out for sharing the values ​​of corporate culture with its community.

With four operational offices and ten branches around the world, Atom combines an international DNA with the link with the Vigevano production context, where Atom – a world reference reality for the mechanical-footwear sector – still has its roots. The support for the Pavia Supernova project confirms Atom’s commitment to enhancing a territory that holds extraordinary business stories but which can now look at a future of innovation and growth.

This year, Atom returned to celebrate Christmas with a special lunch for all collaborators. The catering service of the event was by Dolce Positivo, a work and social inclusion project which includes workers with intellectual and physical disabilities and people with social fragility.

A great occasion for both celebration and reflection, looking to the future and a new year together.

Atom MB and Cerim give life to a new industrial project with the aim of strengthening the offer and the international competitiveness of the two companies in the footwear machinery market.

AVANTIUM is the company, equally owned 50% by ATOM and 50% by Cerim, in which the industrial contents of Cerim and MB will converge. A synergy that will make it possible to optimize customer service and strengthen the international presence, as well as guaranteeing the full protection of all human resources.

The goal is to strengthen the experiences of individual brands and to jointly develop the production and distribution network with an enlarged and integrated catalog of products.

A consolidation operation in which the shareholders have decided to invest without resorting to external finance, agreeing on an industrial plan that starts from a strong structural choice: unite to grow.

For 2022, Atom is confirmed among the 1,000 top performer companies of Italian economy, awarded for their performance and ability to overcome the health emergency and face the international economic and political crisis to plan the next relaunch.

The research carried out by the ItalyPost Study Center in collaboration with “L’Economia”, the financial weekly publication of the Corriere della Sera, has in fact confirmed the Vigevanese company among the Champions companies of our country, which over the years has developed cutting-edge technology applied to many production sectors, becoming a world leader in the production of systems for cutting flexible and semi-rigid materials. A success which is due to a solid business model and continuous technological innovation.

The research has identified 800 companies situated in the national territory with a turnover ranging between € 20 and € 120 million, as well as 200 top companies with a turnover between € 120 and € 500 million, which were selected based on the careful analysis of the available financial statements of the last six years. (2014-2020 period) and a series of strict corporate and economic criteria (such as Cagr, EBITDA, Rating and NFP).

Limiting the movement of goods and people with the creation of “digital infrastructures”, in which data is exchanged and analysed in all operational phases: this is the goal that has guided the development of the new ATOM products.

From the design phase to its delivery to the final Customer, the whole process can be digitized, becoming faster and more efficient.

Virtual prototyping, production chain management, CADCAM Engineering, production control, automation and e-commerce: these are the phases of the process that can be connected through a new digital infrastructure.

For each of these areas, ATOM is able to offer software and hardware tools, single machines or complex automated systems, ready to be integrated with existing production lines, using the most popular standards for interconnection and data exchange.

More effective, faster and more productive systems, able to be remotely controlled and to exchange information even between factories which are physically located in different parts of the world: a new way for industrial production takes shape thanks to ATOM technology.

The open event organized by ATOM Germany obtained an excellent feedback: the aim was to present all the latest cutting systems for different materials.

The 21st international Shoes and Leather Vietnam, one of the most famous one-stop platform dedicated to footwear and leather goods in Asian market, was ended on Friday.
The fair attracted 750 exhibitors distributed on 20.000 mq exhibition area and 15.000 visitors.
The Atom group’s offer has been a great success: Atom, Atom MB, Shoemaster and Main Group have showed innovative solutions for all the footwear production stages, from design to the cutting of materials, including the moulding of soles and the assembly of the item.

At Simac Tanning Tech, Atom traces back the origin of fashion through an ideal path summarized in the “AuTOMation comes to fashion” pay off. Automation acts as a fundamental element in all the fashion product design and realization steps, thus granting quality, efficiency and the ability to combine the demand for customization with the industrial processes.

In this regard, the companies of the Atom Group presented the most innovative solutions for each production step, from the footwear design to the cutting of materials, from direct injection to the assembly of components: different systems, technologies and machinery designed to integrate and interact along a path that leads from the shoe design to its transformation into an actual product at industrial scale.

“Atom: The Cutting Factory” moves to Pirmasens, where Atom Germany is located, after the success at La Triennale (in Milan) and Castello Sforzesco (in Vigevano – Atom headquarters in Italy) with two events, the first of which is “Kreativvitti”, from 5 to 6 April 2017.
