When the first oils were rendered in a kettle on the family farm, Frederick Schroeder made a commitment to be an innovator in leather processing. Atlas Refinery, Inc. has been continuously researching, experimenting and improving ever since.

Our goals have been to anticipate needs and set new standards of excellence for Atlas products throughout the world. From our beginnings as a small, regional proprietorship, these goals have remained constant. The founder's commitment has resulted in worldwide recognition and a challenge to provide international markets with the most advanced specialty chemicals available.
