Atotech is one of the world’s leading suppliers of specialty chemicals, equipment, service and solutions for printed circuit board manufacturing and advanced packaging (Electronics), as well as decorative and functional surface finishing (General Metal Finishing). In addition to its core business units – Electronics and General Metal Finishing – other business units such as Semiconductor Technology and Electronics Materials play an increasingly important role in the future growth of Atotech and that of its customers.

Atotech was founded in 1993, when the Elf Atochem Group merged its M&T Harshaw operations with the Schering Electroplating Division, which had a long history in electroplating dating back to 1901. Today, Atotech is a direct subsidiary of Total, the world's fifth-largest oil and gas company, which was created from the merger of TotalFina and Elf Aquitaine in 2000.

With locations in more than 40 countries in all important industrial regions of the world, Atotech is a truly international company providing best local service worldwide.
