The first company years were settled in Burghausen. The company ATECH grew with its tasks so in 1997 it moved to the industrial area Lindach in Burghausen. Also the numbers of employees increased. Up to 21 employees were employed at this time.

The increasing electrification and the increasing order situation necessitated an new move. On the Fuggerstrasse in Mehring, not far from the current location, ATECH found an new location.

In the course of time the number of employees rose to more than 30.

ATECH also set the course for the future. ATECH invested in a new building and moved into the new business location in summer 2012 in the industrial area Mehring Hohenwart. The primary goal was to create optimal working conditions for all employees. Thus, a modern crane and lifting device was installed, a roller track for the shipping area was installed and an in-house engine test stand was integrated.

In the rooms, the management not only emphasized functionality. Rather,the new building should be a place for employees and business partners to feel comfortable.
