Located in Atlantis, in the Western Cape, just 50km north of Cape Town, the history of Atlantis Foundries dates back to 1979, when it was started by the South African Government and licensed to manufacture Mercedes Benz and Perkins diesel engines. In 1985 the Company was incorporated into Atlantis Diesel Engines (ADE), before Daimler/Mercedes-Benz South Africa (then called DaimlerChrysler), took control in 1999, and incorporated Atlantis Foundries into the Daimler Trucks Powertrain business unit. Since the takeover by the Daimler Group in 1999, the Company has gone from strength to strength having increased their casting production from 30,000 to 75,000 net tonnes per year, and Atlantis Foundries are now considered one of the best heavy-duty engine block foundries in the world.
