ATK's history

A friendly spark

In 2006, Giovanni Indulti was running GIMEC, his high precision CNC mechanical workshop, alongside his wife Guerrina. The company was producing precision mechanical components for the ceramic, packaging and, of course, automotive industries.

It's safe to say that, at the time, none of them was an expert of ski mountaineering. "Our knowledge in regards to the backcountry skiing world could be summarised by a single, emblematic question that used to pop in our mind as we were sitting on a comfortable chair-lift: what kind of spirit moves these people to go through all that just to earn a few turns?" They admit.

That changed when a skimo competition enthusiast brought to the laboratory in Fiorano Modenese an old touring binding, asking if, with their expertise, they could improve that heavy and bad-tempered chunk of metal.
