It’ that journey that matters, not the destination…

Over 50 years of history

1970

Adriano Colombo and Enzo Sartorio founded TE-CAV, laying the foundation for a journey of success and development. It marked the beginning of a long path filled with challenges and transformations, faced with foresight and resilience.

1975

The project took shape: TE-CAV became A.T.A.M. – Avvolgimenti Tecnici Assemblaggi Milano. With the move to a larger facility in Sesto San Giovanni, production took off, and the new name, A.T.A.M., quickly gained recognition.

1989

The inauguration of the new plant in Agrate Brianza (2,800 sqm), which has since been expanded and remains the current Headquarters, became the brain and heart of our activities.

1990

The Colombo family acquires full ownership of A.T.A.M., which changes its name to ATAM Windings and adopts a new logo.

1993

ATAM Windings achieves Quality Certification under the UNI EN ISO 9000 standard with the certification body CSQ, becoming one of the first companies in the sector to do so. It also obtains CENELEC certification for applications in potentially explosive environments.

2000

ATAM obtains ATEX certification. This represents an important milestone but also marks the beginning of the design and cataloging of other certified products over the years. This continuous and constant research, still ongoing, has made these components our flagship products.

2004

The Agrate Brianza headquarters expands in step with the company’s growth, reaching a total of 10,000 sqm. ATAM Windings is significantly strengthened and equipped to compete at the forefront, enthusiastically tackling new market challenges.

2007

The integration of the CNE product line—a globally recognized brand for machine-side connections and sensors—expands ATAM Windings’ commercial offering and enhances expertise in the coil-connector system.

2008

Adriano passes the torch to his son Stefano, who accelerates the journey toward Industry 4.0, driven by his strong passion for digital technology and corporate image.

2013

The brand image is refreshed, reflecting the company’s strong focus on corporate communication. The legal name is changed to ATAM S.P.A. ATAM (UK) Ltd. is established as a base for distributing our products in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe.

2014

ATAM opens a production unit in Asia, located in Taiwan (ATAM Electric and Engineering Co., Ltd.), to meet the local demand for high-quality, technically advanced products with fast logistics and competitive economic conditions. This is a significant step toward the internationalization of the Italian brand and the opening of new market opportunities.

2017

As part of its increasingly attentive and sustainable corporate management, ATAM obtains ISO 14001 certification. This marks an important step toward more conscious production and work management.

2019

While remaining a family company with Umberto Colombo as President, the company transforms its structure, adopting a managerial approach to its operations.

2020

ATAM celebrates its first 50 years, aiming for Industry 5.0 with the awareness that its collaborators are the cornerstone of its success.

2023

In its continued expansion, ATAM further enhances its production capacity and lays the groundwork for a facility dedicated exclusively to the production of connectors.
