Aero Tec Laboratories was founded in 1970 as a design and testing facility for flexible composite materials. Shortly thereafter, the firm broadened its scope to include the actual fabrication of end products from its own outstanding fiber/elastomer composites. From ambitious beginnings in engineered inflatables and crashworthy fuel cell bladders, ATL has further spread its technologies into compensators, accumulators, potable water vessels, self-healing ballistic tanks, space containerization, bulk storage bladders and scores of similar endeavors. The common thread among ATLs products is the seeming dichotomy of remarkable toughness and durability coupled with extreme light weight, high flexibility and compactness. Over its generation of growth, ATL USA has assembled an enviable legion of agents and distributors, plus a sister company in England, ATL UK, and a range of over 100 flex-composite materials.
