Meanwhile, ATS Corporation is a global player specializing in enterprise automation solutions. Founded in 1978, the company employs 6,500+ people at more than 60 manufacturing facilities across North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
Continuing growth

ATS is building a portfolio through acquisitions. Our technologies complement each other perfectly.
“We notice a lot of interest from large companies to partner with us, but they often also like to work with large partners,” says Verhasselt. “That was an important motivation for choosing ATS. Under their wings, we can serve our customers globally and continue to grow.”
