About AtMet Group

Since 1995, AtMet Group has manufactured cargo securing solutions that keep goods safe at sea, on the road and on rail. Our core products are dunnage airbags, inflatable bags that fill voids between cargo to prevent movement, and lashing systems, straps and securing equipment for containers and other transport units.

We manufacture in China and the USA, operate a French office (opened in 2021), and hold local stock in France and Rotterdam. The Netherlands and Belgium are our next step, and you will lead it.
