Pratt Park- way in Longmont, ATC specializes in developing custom molds and tools that require a high degree of precision. The company has been on a growth spurt lately, adding new capabilities, space and employees. It now has about 35 employees, president Nigel Sutton said. MANUFACTURING ATC can help clients tweak designs, create a mold and build a part — services fewer local shops are providing. Most mold and tool makers have split the two. “There were quite a few shops that did that in this area,” Sutton said. “We decided to stay in both businesses. We feel they complement each other, and there’s still a market for both. You can come to us, and it’s one-stop shopping.” ATC’s client list includes Fortune 500 companies and small local firms.
