CHICAGO—Jan. 2012—The Saturn Rack Company, formerly Atlas Rack, has been acquired by A.W.T. World Trade GroupOpens in a new window as of January 17, 2012.

The acquisition of Saturn Racks creates one of the world’s largest and most diversified providers of industrial racks and drying applications in the storage and drying rack industry. The acquisition of the 40-year-old company brings together the industry’s best storage rack products. With these two companies joining forces consumers can look forward to expanded production plus the excellent customer service and speedy delivery they have come to expect from the A.W.T. World Trade Group.

“A.W.T.’s enhanced product line is another example of our continuing response to customer needs and meeting our goal of being a single source for drying and storage rack application buyers,” said Michael Green , president of the A.W.T.
