Atlas Molded Products

What Atlas Molded Products does

Atlas Molded Products is the U.S. operations of a division of Atlas Roofing Corporation, a privately-held diversified industrial group, and self-identifies as the nation's largest manufacturer of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) products. Founded approximately fifty years ago and headquartered in Denver, Colorado with 501-1000 employees, the company operates 16-18 manufacturing facilities across North America producing rigid EPS insulation (ThermalStar E and ThermalStar X product lines), structural geofoam for civil engineering, custom OEM components for recreational vehicles, garage doors, marine engines, and spa covers, lost foam patterns for metal casting, and cold-chain and protective packaging for pharmaceuticals, food, and biotech.

The core technology centers on two EPS processing platforms — block molding and shape molding — combined with proprietary cutting technology, CAD/CAM-driven 3D modeling and prototyping, and an in-house geometric tolerancing lab with robotic assembly cells supporting lost foam pattern production. Products are manufactured to ASTM C578 specifications under UL and ICC-ES monitored quality programs, with ISO9001 certification for lost foam foundry operations and a portfolio of GREENGUARD, REACH, RoHS, PFAS disclosure, Prop 65, and CCMC (Canadian) compliance documentation. The product portfolio spans commodity to specialty grades including graphite enhanced polystyrene (GPS) for enhanced thermal performance, high-strength variants up to 60 psi for below-slab applications, and TalonGuard termite resistant options.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams on a custom quotation basis: (1) construction and infrastructure EPS insulation and geofoam sold to contractors, builders, architects, and government transportation departments via a network of territory sales representatives and distribution partners such as White Cap; (2) OEM engineered components supplied directly to manufacturers in RV, garage door, marine, spa cover, and cold storage markets, often under multi-decade supply relationships with deep SKU libraries; and (3) cold-chain insulated shippers and protective packaging for pharmaceutical, food, biotech, and industrial customers including mutual supply arrangements with Uline. Pricing is quote-based, multi-year contract oriented, and not publicly disclosed. Sales are predominantly direct via territory representatives for construction and OEM-embedded for component supply.
