Atlas Shingles

Atlas Roofing Corporation is a manufacturer of residential and commercial roofing products. Atlas is a privately held company with corporate headquarters located in Atlanta, Georgia. The company had a single asphalt shingle manufacturing facility in the early 1980s when it was first established. With four additional roofing plants in the mid-90s, the shingle manufacturer continues to grow to address the demands of the asphalt shingle industry.

Corporate History

Atlas Roofing Corporation was founded in 1982 with a single manufacturing plant producing asphalt shingles and roll roofing materials in Meridian, MS. In 1987, Atlas launched its energy products division and acquired three manufacturing facilities for the development of polyiso insulation. Two years later, Atlas began the production of glass reinforced facers and acquired two additional manufacturing facilities.

In 1991, Atlas launched Rboard wall sheathing and then released a line of heavy-duty SBS modified asphalt shingles two years later. By the year 2000, Atlas had acquired another 10 manufacturing facilities and had established its first international manufacturing plant in Toronto, Canada. Atlas opened a manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico in 2005 and opened another in Vancouver, Canada in 2012.

In 2015, Atlas announced its Atlas Pro+ Program for roofing contractors. The program was designed to encourage them to sell more Atlas products. Atlas also built a web tech manufacturing facility in the same year. Now headquartered in Atlanta, GA, Atlas has 23 manufacturing facilities across North America and global distribution.
