ATECO EQUIPMENT – 50 YEARS BEHIND THE WHEEL

 

The ATECO group of companies has it’s origin in the establishment of ATECO Pty Limited, which commenced trading in March 1959 from premises in George Street, Sydney. Its main business was the marketing of tractor attachments to the construction, forest and rural industries. The actual name ATECO being an acronym for Allied Tractor Equipment Company. An early involvement for ATECO was to provide towing and recovery equipment for heavy vehicles in the Australian Defence Forces. The ADF connection still exists.
