ATSCo

What ATSCo does

ATSCo is a privately held refrigeration and commercial storage solutions provider headquartered in Elgin, Illinois, founded in 1974. The company designs, sells, distributes, and installs custom cold storage and display systems for commercial and industrial facilities, with a stated focus on the Midwest market. Its core product portfolio comprises custom-sized glass door coolers and freezers, retail and backroom shelving with configurable color and lighting options, large-scale warehouse cold storage for distribution and production facilities, and glass door retrofit kits that modernize existing cooler equipment.

The business operates a project-based, custom-engineering model: solutions are built to client specifications, timeline, and budget rather than sold as standardized SKUs, and pricing is quote-based with multi-year project contracts. ATSCo serves three primary customer personas — general contractors executing commercial builds, facility managers maintaining retail and warehouse operations, and direct retail and warehouse/distribution clients — using a sales-led, direct engagement motion initiated through website contact forms. Distribution is regional and relationship-driven, with no public retail or e-commerce channels; a related sub-brand, ATSCo Distribution, operates alongside the ATSCo Construction identity. The company has 11–50 employees, no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and no public financial disclosures.
