Moving from the 25,000-square-foot building that ATL Ltd. has called home for 13 years, the company will relocate all of its office and production facilities to a 100,000-square-foot site in Denbigh, Milton Keynes—just four miles south of its current Central Milton Keynes location.
 
This means that ATL will still be ideally located for most motorsports customers, and only 20 minutes away from Silverstone.
 
The move will coincide with the appointment of Will Goff (former Mercedes AMG F1 Quality Manager) as ATL's Head of Quality—bolstering a raft of major quality developments at ATL, which have included the introduction of on-screen 3D manufacturing instructions for production technicians and the integration of a full ISO9001 Quality Management System (QMS), of which a Stage 1 audit has been successfully completed.
 
ATL is now involved with several ongoing aerospace, defense and marine projects, which justify their own production areas.

With such a large amount of floor space available, project-specific modular production bays can now be introduced, along with dedicated areas for the assembly of particular types of cells, such as UAV fuel cells and pillow-style fluid bulk-storage (10,000+ liters) bladders.

Research, development and testing are big aspects of these projects, so it will be possible to dedicate more room to installing custom testing rigs, jigs, and any other prototype validation hardware.
 
Sales of metallic tanks and containers (for fuel, oil, water and other fluids) into defense and motorsports continue to increase, so the availability of extra space will allow more fabrication bays to be created and new CNC machining centers to be installed—helping to maintain growth in this area of the business.
 
Modern office suites already exist within the new building, and the office layout will allow for important expansion of the Design Department, which is necessary given ATL's ever-increasing portfolio of defense and aerospace customers. Sales and Design staff will now be located in closer proximity to the Production Management and Quality Control Departments, offering improved contact with prototype builds and work in progress.
 
The establishment of permanent, purpose-built showroom displays will mean that it will be possible for the ATL Sales Team to conduct product training workshops for ATL's International Agent/Distributor Network.

Combined with well-appointed Goods-In/Out and Reception areas, the ATL customer experience will improve, whether a customer purchases products directly or through the well-established ATL Agent network.
 
Internal construction work within the building is well under way, and the re-fit and relocation is expected to be complete by mid-October.
