Volm Companies, a key supplier of packaging and packaging equipment for fresh potatoes in North America, has acquired the business of Atech, Incorporated in Monte Vista Colorado.
Atech has been a long-time and valuable partner for Volm, representing the Volmpack line of equipment with a local sales and service model. Over the past few years, Atech had also been partnering with Volm in the distribution of packaging in the area.
With the acquisition, Volm will occupy the current Atech facility, a 7,200-square foot warehouse set on approximately 9 acres.
Through the acquisition, Volm plans to invest in resources and improvements at the location to offer a higher level of direct service for its customers in the San Luis Valley area as well as provide for a regional Colorado hub to service those in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
