The synergy between ATOM Group and Molina e Bianchi has given birth to ATOM MB, the new company of ATOM Group.
"The taking over of Molina e Bianchi by establishing the new company represents an important step to enhance our strategy of global offer – Mr. Giovanni Gaia, President of ATOM, says. We have widened our array of solutions integrating a major business in the footwear industry, the shoe lasting technology, into our production by a perfect synergy with Molina e Bianchi, a local firm with a strong historic background and a deep international commitment. This is a further action, after the acquisition of Main Group, leading company in the production of moulding injection machines, in 2009”.
This move is part of a strategy of growth, that ATOM has been carrying on for a long time to look ahead to the future with a cutting-edge approach. The past is not forgotten, but a further step forward is made to strengthen ATOM presence on the international scenario.
"The buying-out of this branch of the shoe machine production chain – Mr. Gaia keeps on – enables us to better meet the market demands, and at the same time our customers can count on one only business partner to choose a wider and integrated range of products. This is an important decision, which will also involve remarkable actions to organize and strengthen the manufacturing and technological capacity of this structure".
Thanks to the contribution of ATOM LAB, the research and innovation unit of the group, ATOM will further improve the already started route of research for advanced procedures in the footwear sector, integrating the know-how of shoe bottom processing, belonging to Molina e Bianchi, with the innovation in method and product, synonymous of ATOM - a further tile to reinforce ATOM Group leadership in the worldwide market.
