Atlas has had a long and close relationship in the American textile industry including being the first corporate member of AATCC. This relationship lead to the development and manufacture of numerous specialized textile testing instruments including the AATCC Launder-Ometer, Crockmeter, Accelerotor, Scorch Tester, and Perspiration Tester.
