History

More than 25 years of investment in growth

Since incorporation in 1982, Atlas has flourished. Our starting point has always been the desire to reach the number-one spot in the market. Originally as an agent for worldwide transports, Atlas quickly expanded into personnel services for waterway contracting. The step to professionals for the oil and gas industry was a logical next phase in Atlas' expansion. We then continued to work on our international portfolio with professionals for seismic and hydrographic services. So, where is the next challenge? Atlas will continue to invest in its service provision and organisation - we are driven to develop.
