In 1969, Elvin C. Price began working in a basement workshop building quality, laborsaving devices for the sewn products industry. Few would have imagined this one-man company, capitalized with slightly more than $100, would one day become the world's largest builder of automated sewing equipment and custom laborsaving devices.
The emphasis has always been on quality; not only of the product but most importantly, the development of a quality work force. As Elvin so often points out, Atlanta Attachment's employees are its most valuable asset. Unlike the building and equipment, they appreciate and become more valuable. The company, therefore, puts most of its time and resources into recruiting and retaining the most talented and productive personnel.
The company relocated to Lawrenceville, GA in 1978 to take advantage of a quality worker base.
