ATCAM was founded in 1993 by Peter and Steve Andres, the brothers had a clear goal in mind – to open a Thermal Spray coating and Machine shop that provided truly cost-effective solutions to industry needs. Following the lead of their father Dave Andres, one of the founders of Fox Valley Tool & Die, Inc., the brothers decided to capitalize on their joint experience to provide just such a service.
As a former customer service manager at Miller Thermal Inc., Peter had an intimate knowledge of the thermal spray coating process and customer service. Having worked with his father at Fox Valley Tool & Die, Steve brought a wealth of machining experience to the new business. ATCAM experienced rapid growth and expanded from its original 5,000 sq. ft. facility to 10,000 sq. ft. in 1995 then onto 20,000 sq. ft. in 1998.
Steve left ATCAM in 2001 to open his own company, at which time long-time employee Michael Bultman (Vice President) became a partner and remains with ATCAM today. Peter expanded the facility to 35,000 sq. ft. in 2011. ATCAM also expanded its thermal coating line and machining capabilities. ATCAM added large and small CNC machining, as well as a robotic thermal coating cell and additional top coating services including
Teflon, silicone release and powder coatings. ATCAM is continually expanding its products and services and is proud to support the diverse needs of OEM’s, Paper Companies, Mechanical Contractors, and Defense Contractors throughout the country.
On October 1, 2023, ATCAM’s leadership torch was passed onto Nate Andres. As President, Nate revamped the logo and updated the look for the company. He continues to explore new possibilities for modernized machining equipment, thermal spraying, and surface technology while staying true to ATCAM’s roots as a locally owned and operated company. ATCAM is located in the Little Chute, Wisconsin, industrial park and strongly believes in giving back to the local communities which have supported the company throughout the years.
