Atlas Embroidery Chosen as Official Production Facility for Reebok/Adidas SuperBowl and ProBowl Apparel

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

We are the official production facility for Reebok/Adidas’ Super Bowl and Pro-Bowl Apparel.

Atlas Embroidery & Screen-Printing is one of the largest embroiderers and screen printers in the United States. We are known for high quality and quick turn around. Our customer service is a priority as well. We have won the ASI top 50 companies to work for in the country.

This morning, we have had many local news channels in our facility, ABC, NBS, CBS and FOX as well as the Sun-Sentinel and Miami Herald to preview the production of the first run SuperBowl T shirts in South Florida!

There are only 3 companies in the United States certified to print for Coca Cola, and we are rated #1 of the 3 Things Go Better with Coke campaign.

We are printing for the United States Olympics as well. We will be helping our athletes “Go For The Gold”!

“Highest Quality” “Finest Service” “Amazing Facility” are only some of the ways our customers describe us.

We are dollar conscious and price sensitive, value is our middle name! We care about our customers.

We are printing for fortune 50 companies through our many distributors in the United States and abroad.

We’re Ft. Lauderdale based since 2001, employ 60 people, and operate the largest apparel decorating operation in South Florida.

If Reebok/Adidas feels we are the best facility for them to print their shirts, I would think you would also !

We offer a full service art department which can take you from concept to film. We are a true one stop shop for all your embellishment needs. Once you try us, you will never go “anywear” else!

How Green Do you want to be?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

The green movement is constantly evolving, and EcoBabble promises to be your one stop shop for all your Eco-Friendly Apparel needs.

Along with the evolution of Environmentally friendly apparel arises the need to decide “How green do you want to be”?

Simply put EcoBabble has broken down what’s available into what we call our “4-stages of being Green”.

The Greener, the more costly; however, the greener the less the carbon footprint left behind.

Note that all garments will be decorated with Eco-Friendly PVC/Phthalate Free Water-Based inks:

EcoBabbles’ 4-Stages of Being Green:

EcoBabble Stage 1: 70% Recycled Cotton and 30% Acrylic

EcoBabble Stage 2: 45% Recycled Polyester and 55% Ringspun Cotton

EcoBabble Stage 3: 50% Recycled Polyester and 50% Ringspun Cotton

EcoBabble Stage 4: 50% Recycled Polyester and 50% Recycled Cotton (Best bet for 100% Recycled)

Atlas Embroidery Announces Eco-Friendly T-Shirt Line

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

We at Atlas Embroidery and Screen Printing are on a mission to make the world a “greener” place one piece of apparel at a time. Through what we’ve learned in the research and development involved with building our “EcoBabble” RPET (Recycled-polyester) apparel collection, we know now more than ever the importance of the incorporating Sustainable practices at every available opportunity.

EcoBabble Apparel represents just what can be done to go to the extreme end of the “Green” spectrum by not only Recycling PVC-Bottles that would otherwise be destined for a century in landfills; but also, “re-purposing” them into their new life as wearable garments. Recycling and then re-using materials of any kind is the first step towards assuring a “greener” future for generations to come; however, making the resulting products 100% recycled and “Eco-Friendly” complete that product life-cycle loop that we all now know to be critical for a “clean” future.

Innovativeness and Social Responsibility have always been focal points at Atlas, and with our “EcoBabble” Apparel collection, we’ve made the next major leap in assisting our corporate clients and partners in doing the same.  EcoBabble apparel is comprised of a 50/50 combination of RPET (post-consumer recycled polyester derived from PVC bottles) and pre-consumer recycled scrap cotton. The resulting garments are 100% recycled, and when decorated with “Low-impact/Environmentally Friendly” PVC/Phthalate-free Water-based Inks, create a completely “Eco-conscious” alternative to what’s been available in the apparel world to date.

While “Organic” cotton apparel scratched the surface of the “Eco-Apparel” movement, the composition at roughly 6% organic cotton, didn’t quite bring about the change necessary to have any major benefit regarding the Environmental impact involved with the apparel manufacturing process. At Atlas, we firmly believe that making the Earth a “Greener” more natural place will only happen if all of us do our part to replace “new” materials and the waste that results with recycled solutions to traditional products.

In the Apparel space, we’re confident that EcoBabble will assist in our initiative and that of our parents to make the world in which we live better than the one we were brought into by previous generations. If others join this movement in their given areas of expertise, it is possible for us to evolve the way people think about their own Environmental impact. Further, by offering Socially and Environmentally Conscious alternatives, we can allow everyone the ability/opportunity to paint a “greener” picture for not only our future, but that of generations to come.

Atlas Embroidery & Screen Printing Listed Number 2 in Best Places to Work

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Counselor’s Best Places To Work Revealed

Earlier this year, Counselor set out on a mission to find the companies in the industry where employees simply love to come to work every day. We wanted to identify those workplaces that have loyal staffs, dependable and trustworthy management, solid and motivating benefits packages and overall team effectiveness that raises organizations to high levels of success.

Atlas Finished # 2 in America!

The list of 50 companies is certainly diverse. It has distributors and suppliers, Top 40 companies with hundreds of employees and small firms with only 15 staffers (in fact, to qualify for the program a company had to have at least 15 employees), organizations from east to west and north to south.

About ASI (Counselor)

Advertising Specialty Institute is the largest media and marketing organization serving the advertising specialty industry, with a membership of over 25,000 distributor firms (sellers) and supplier firms (manufacturers) of advertising specialties.

“Atlas Shines because of our Clients!”

Atlas Embroidery & Screen Printing

By C.J. Mittica

Forced out of the corporate world after 9/11, Mitchell Lombard maintained a simple motto when he began Atlas Embroidery & Screen Printing (asi/700400): “I wanted to do everything opposite of Corporate America.”

Earnings first and everything else second? Not this company.

The earnings have arrived – to the tune of 30% to 40% increases every year. So has steady growth; Atlas started off with two employees and one machine and now carries nearly 60 employees and many machines. And I still have the same two employees and the same machine we started with,
Lombard notes.

“Our employees will bleed for our company. They feel that they own it. We want them to feel that way.”

MITCHELL LOMBARD, ATLAS EMBROIDERY & SCREEN PRINTING (asi/126900)

For the president of the company, there’s no mystery behind the secret of success. “We put our employees first,” he says, “and we put our clients right next to the employees. We bend over backwards. And the money takes care of itself.”

To achieve that, Lombard keeps his workers included in the company’s decision-making process. He offers a generous benefits package where many similar businesses fall short. He gives away company shirts without charging a cent. And he holds routine design contests among the employees; the winning design gets put on a shirt and handed out to the staff during the holidays. As a result? “Our employees will bleed for our company,” he says. “They feel that they own it. We want them to feel that way.”

Lombard describes the workplace atmosphere as “fun”, with each department blaring its own music and engaging in good-natured territorial gamesmanship (being a stone’s throw from the beach in the Fort Lauderdale, FL, area probably helps too). Satisfied customers buying pizza for the staff is not an uncommon occurrence. For Lombard and Atlas, a job well done means keeping both the employees and the coffers well-fed. “If you take care of your people, they take care of you,” he says.
