From a company with workshops in central Stockholm, (today the Atlas area) by the main railway line for proximity to rail transport, the company has developed into a global group with significance on all continents. The history has been filled with entrepreneurship, innovations, and successful choices. Sometimes things have gone less well, but Atlas Copco has steadily bounced back.

How Atlas Copco Celebrates

Insight into the importance of its own history makes them celebrate emphatically. The festive day is highly acknowledged at the newly built headquarters in Nacka, but also at Nasdaq in New York, where Atlas Copco rings in the trading day.

The Centre for Business History has produced a company history for the web, which in various themes presents Atlas Copco's history www.atlascopco.com/history/. There you can find product development, technological shifts, and all the places where they are present today. Atlas Copco also publishes an anniversary book based on the strong culture that has shaped and still shapes the company.
