More than five decades of stitched automation.

1969

The company is founded

Atlanta Attachment Co. is established in Lawrenceville, Georgia, a manufacturer built to solve one problem well: automating the stitching of sewn products so a repeatable result comes off the line at production speed. That single focus, industrial sewing automation, has anchored the company ever since.

From the start the decision was to keep the work together. Engineering, machining, and assembly under one roof meant a design idea could become a running machine without leaving the building, and a customer could be answered by the people who built the equipment.

The founding decades

A specialty in stitched automation

The company grew as an engineering house rather than a catalog reseller. Where a general sewing-machine supplier sold what it stocked, Atlanta Attachment engineered the workstation, the attachment, and the automation around a customer's specific operation, and then supported it for its working life.

That character set the standard the company still holds. Machines are specified in exact tolerances, builds are documented, and the equipment is expected to run the way it was quoted, shift after shift. For factory owners and plant engineers buying five- and six-figure equipment, that predictability is the product.

Growth across industries

From one line to five divisions

As manufacturers across more industries automated their sewn-goods lines, the company's equipment offering grew to meet each. Today that work is organized into five divisions. Mattress is the flagship, covering border, tape-edge, quilting, panel, foundation, cutting, glue, and packaging automation. Furniture brings automated sewing and fabrication to upholstered goods. Apparel supplies workstations, attachments, and automation for sewn apparel. Automotive serves interiors, trim, and sewn components. Medical builds purpose-made machines for medical sewn products.

Each division shares the same engineering group and the same shop, so a technique proven in one industry can be applied in another. A folding or feeding solution developed for mattresses can inform an automotive interior; a control approach from apparel can carry into furniture.

The parts business

A depot behind the machines

A machine is only as productive as its uptime, so the company built the Atlanta Parts Depot alongside the equipment business. The depot stocks thousands of folders, gauges, needles, and expendable replacement parts covering many machine brands, not only our own, searchable by machine and ordered by part number.

The purpose is simple: keep a production line running. Parts held in stock and shipped worldwide mean a customer is not idled waiting on a consumable, which is why the depot has become a business line in its own right.

Precision machining

The metalwork becomes a service

The same in-house precision machining and fabrication that builds our own equipment grew into a service for customers who need components and assemblies made to exacting tolerances. Atlanta Precision Machining and Fabrication takes work from concept to installation, applying the metalworking discipline behind our machines to a customer's own parts.

Support programs

Support that stays with the equipment

Over the years the company built out the support a serious manufacturer expects. In-house technician training brings a customer's people up to speed on the equipment they run. Technical manuals document the machines. The AACare service program keeps equipment maintained. After-hours emergency phone support means a line that goes down outside business hours can still reach help.

Together these programs reflect the founding idea: the relationship does not end at the sale, it begins there.

2016

A new chapter of ownership

In 2016 the company entered a new chapter of ownership. The engineering group, the shop, and the support programs continued as before, with the company's manufacturing and customer commitments intact.

2020s

Continued investment and a global footprint

In 2025 a further acquisition marked the company's most recent chapter. Through it all, Atlanta Attachment has continued to invest in its equipment lines, its parts depot, and its machining capability, and to meet customers where the industry gathers, with a presence at the sector's major trade shows including Foam Expo North America and the Furniture Manufacturing Expo.

The company operates bilingually in English and Spanish and serves a customer base across the Americas and worldwide, the natural market for equipment built for manufacturers on both sides of a global supply chain.

Today

A multi-line manufacturer

More than five decades after its founding, Atlanta Attachment Co. is a manufacturer of industrial sewing automation, a stocking replacement-parts depot, and a precision machining shop, all under one roof in Lawrenceville, Georgia, with a second facility in Hickory, North Carolina. The focus has not changed: engineer the machine, hold the tolerance, and keep the customer running.
