Atlantic Plastics history dating back to 1908 . Atplas , EBCO and Talbot are the fundamental brands of our business . In 2010 , the investment company Triton acquired Tyco ’ s European waterworks elements and formed the TALIS Group . Triton ’ s ownership of Atplas lasted until last year at which point we were bought by AVK as a standalone business ,” he continues .
Atplas ’ remarkable journey showcases the company ’ s commitment to sustainability
Ownership and acquisition changes aside , Atplas also reformed its focus and goals for the foreseeable future . “ For ten-to-15 years our focus was on cost control and footprint optimization . As a result , we closed some sites and moved everything to one location . We had a foundry in Willesden , a head office in Mansfield and we used to have a distribution center and a factory in Birmingham . Today , they ’ re all condensed into one site , in Bridgend ,”
By finding cost-effective solutions such as these , the company was able to invest more into other aspects of the business – like sustainability . “ From around 2014 , we focused on sustainability and started redesigning our range of meter boxes . The new versions are made from recycled product and are recyclable . It took us approximately six-to-seven years to redesign the complete range , but the last of the new range of products will be out in October ,
