The history of ATL Group begins with the experience of the Cooperative Company CIPES since 1976 and the expanded polyurethane processing activity. Over the years, through a series of start-ups and takeovers of other local businesses, ATL Group becomes the 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. Thanks to long-term partnerships at the international level, the company has acquired a qualified know-how in the planning and management of production, in the care of business relations, 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.

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 processing, 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 european regulations.

The Design Team is made up of twenty two 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.
