Background

About Zach Mottl

Zach Mottl is the fourth generation of his family to own and operate Atlas Tool & Die Works, Inc of Lyons, Illinois. The company, founded in 1918, is a world-class precision manufacturing facility offering a broad array of metal manufacturing services. Zach works not only to improve business with new and current customers, but also engages in outreach, development strategy, and identifying operational improvements at Atlas, and the family’s related businesses including Accushim Inc. and Abet Industries. Zach is an advocate for the value and importance of domestic manufacturing in any healthy state or national economic model. “Good public policies must be developed to support and grow manufacturing", Mottl states. “Today more than ever, that message is extra important. There is a bright new future for the greater Illinois and USA manufacturing community. I truly believe this, and commit myself to driving all people and things toward this worthy destination. If we invest in ourselves, train our people, build better-and-better products, and buy more raw materials and support services, we will exceed societal value of the so-called glory days of manufacturing.”In support of these high-impact goals, Zach is involved in many organizations, most notably, TMA Illinois' Premier Full Service Manufacturing Association. Atlas is the longest serving member of TMA and Zach was unanimously elected by the Board of Directors to serve as chairman of the association in 2013.
